POSSUM STRUT

Description: 32-count, 2-wall, line dance

Note: Originaly choreographed for Life's Highway by Jeff Parsons (164 BPM) of "Awesum Possum", a local band that used to travel throughout the Midwest. Dance was kept simple due to the tempo of the original song.

Note:

On count 14, don't scuff forward, but keep the left foot close to the right. The hitch on & is almost an afterthought once the dance becomes familiar. It's only emphasized here to make the stomps on 15-16 more effective.
