Sway (2 Versions)

Choreographed by Unknown
Description: 10 count couples/circle dance
Position: Lady faces the outside of the floor with her hands
raised at her shoulders, heels together-gentleman stands behind
her with his hands holding hers, heels together. Alternative
position would have the gentleman wrapping his arms slightly
around the lady with the hands being held slightly in front of
the lady's body (for this intimacy, you might want to be good
friends).
Music: "It's Your Call" by Reba McEntire; or other similar
rhythm.

REPEAT
/Our favorite variation is an 18 count first pattern, dropping
Counts 15-16 above, followed by a 16 count pattern to the end,
by dropping Counts 1-2 on the repeats. This uses both Option 1
and 2 below.

OPTION 1
/Some couples find it easier to balance by omitting Counts 15-16.

OPTION 2
/Some couples eliminate Counts 1-2 on all repeats.
