Don Don The Lights!
Choreographed by: Jim Hart and Don Deyne
Description: 32 count - 2 wall - Beg/Int level line dance
Music: Dim Dim The Lights by Bill Haley
Note: The first part of this dance is a modified version of Don Deyne’s “Shaggin’ the Line.” The first 24 counts (MAIN) are done each wall; the music determines when the various tags are done. My suggestion is to listen to the song while looking at the step sheet a few times before you actually try the dance.
- The order of the tags is:
- MAIN, FREEZE
- MAIN, STEP TOUCHES
- MAIN, FREEZE
- MAIN, SUZY-Q
- MAIN, FREEZE, MAMBO STEPS
- MAIN, FREEZE
- MAIN, SUZY-Q
- MAIN, STEP TOUCHES
- MAIN, FREEZE
- MAIN, ENDING
