CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTES Styling and Variations:
For the coolest look of
a Million Dollar Cowboy, have your hands
grasping your belt buckle - or
pretending to. Once in a while at Counts
1-4, hold your thumbs near
your chest as if holding out suspenders.
The words of the song lend
themselves to some fun variations.
ENDING: At the end of the song "Million
$ Cowboy 2000" the music slows
down as you are dancing the heel jacks
at &21&22&23. Slow down with the
music, ending the steps with your Right
heel forward (Count 23). Then
"Dust Off" as the music fades: brush the
top of your right thigh with
your right hand (to right then left or
vice versa).
