Hit The Road Jack

Choreographed by Ian Dunn (Aus) July 2004
Description: 32 count, 4 wall, Beginner/Intermediate Level Line Dance
Music: 'Hit The Road Jack' (special dance remix) by Buster Poindexter

Choreographers Note: Weight on L to start, begin after 16 beat into (anticlockwise rotation).

The song used has been edited to eliminate any need for a restart and to finish at the front wall. The song has been reduced to 2m 29 sec, this version can only be obtained by emailing me at "wizardid@netspace.net.au". If you use the original there will be a restart after 16 counts on wall 7 and the track is 3 min 11 sec long.
Please remember this is a beginners dance and was choreographed with that in mind.
