NICKAJACK
Choreographed: Scott McClellan [gumby@inwave.com]
Music: Nickajack - River Road
Nickajack is designed as a two-wall line-dance, choreographed with two major sets of steps: one set being done during during each verse of the song; the other taking place during the chorus. For those familiar with the song "Nickajack", there are also two distinct areas of instrumental: one being only 4 beats long; while the other has as entire section of steps for itself.
As the dance itself may seem rather lengthy - notice as the verse/chorus sets take place, there are repetitive movements within the dance itself which lend a certain amount of ease in remembering the individual steps.
This being a maiden voyage in choreography on my part, I certainly hope y'all enjoy the dance.
