Counts &5&6&7&8 are the "Spank The Horsey" part. As you gallop backwards, get up on the balls of your feet and make your legs as bowlegged as possible. Roll those hips as you move backward. Place your left fist forward, knuckles up, as if holding the reins of your horse. On each count, slap the air below your left arm with your right hand, as if slapping the side of your horse.

&5&6 Swivel heels left, center, left, center
7-8 Step left back, step right together

ALL THOSE STEPS AGAIN
1-16 Repeat those last 16 counts, except end with a touch instead of a step so your right foot is free to start the dance again.

REPEAT

TAG
Start the dance 32 counts after the drum kicks in. Then do the tag at the end of walls 2 and 4
GRAPEVINE RIGHT, GRAPEVINE LEFT WITH ¼ TURN
1-2 Step right to side, cross left behind right
3-4 Step right to side, touch left together
5-6 Step left to side, cross right behind left
7-8 Step left to side with ¼ turn left, touch right together

PADDLE TURN
&1 Turn ¼ left, point the right toe to the right side
&2 Turn ¼ left, point the right toe to the right side
&3 Turn ¼ left, point the right toe to the right side
4 Step right together
Some folks leave out the ¼ turn in the second grapevine and add it back in here on count 4. Realistically, it doesn't matter even a tiny bit where you put it.
&5 Turn ¼ right, point the left toe to the left side
&6 Turn ¼ right, point the left toe to the left side
&7 Turn ¼ right, point the left toe to the left side
8 Turn ¼ right and step the left foot forward
During the entire tag, you are rolling your fists around each other in front of your body. You could roll forward on the vine right, and backward on the vine left. You can roll them one revolution per count, or for a more exciting look, try two revolutions per count.
You can also try to turn all of those ¼ paddle turns into ½ turns so that you do two full turns to the left and then two full turns to the right. Rolling your arms while turning your body tests the laws of physics so it may not be as easy as it sounds. And rolling at double speed while spinning at double speed is downright frightening!


STARTING WALL
According to the Fédération d'Association de Kinetic Exactitude (F.A.K.E.), the official starting direction for this dance is 35 degrees East of Magnetic North. However, the committee has agreed that, under certain conditions, it is acceptable to begin the dance facing the 3:00 wall (¼ turn to the right of your normal starting wall). The ¼ turn on count 4 then brings you to the front wall. It is also acceptable to begin the dance facing the 12:00 wall (a.k.a. the "Front" wall), though doing so on a dance floor where everyone else is starting elsewhere could lead to laughter, so that is highly contra-indicated.
Truthfully, you will find that some dancers start at 12:00, and some start at 3:00. Somewhere, probably, there is someone starting 35 degrees East of Magnetic North. As long as the dancers can agree on a common start direction during the lengthy intro to the song, nobody really cares at all which way this dance begins. It's a FOUR WALL dance. It faces ALL

DIRECTIONS!
If you are having trouble coming to an agreement with your neighboring dancers during the intro, please return to your
chair, collect your belongings, access the egress, employ cartage to your abode, consume a Valium, apply a cool
compress to your ocular region, and assume a horizontal position in a darkened sanctum. Your angst level is WAAAY
too high.
