REPEAT ALL OF ABOVE AGAIN TO RIGHT on the last 'step on right to right' you then go on to do (starting with left foot and moving toward the left) dig heel dig heel step. Then again to right dig heel dig heel step(r) step(l). You then begin Tack Annie
2nd step

Repeat

Break step
step (r), toe jab (left -behind right foot), step (l)
step on right behind left foot-chug right foot forward
step on left behind right foot-chug left foot forward
jump on both feet to sides
bring both feet together in a sliding motion (nice if can cause heels to click when brought together)

For more advanced students:
New step
step to right on right
brush back on left, drop heel on right, jab left toe behind right foot
drop right heel then (repeating step), step to left on left, brush(r), drop heel (l),jab right toe behind left foot
dropping left heel repeat again to right except after ending toe jab do another drop heel on right and jab left toe to left , drop right heel again and jab left toe again behind right foot (repeat whole sequence starrting with left then again starting with right foot)
Now... from this position -slide left toe along ground to front (from behind right foot) and drop right heel as youu do this ,
brush left foot back, left dig toe-(next to right foot) drop left heel.
right heel jab (to front), right brush back, drop left heel, right toe jab behind left foot
you are now in position to repeat step sliding right toe out...
again repeat sliding left foot out...
again begin to repeat sliding right foot out, drop left heel, brush back on right,right dig and right heel drop then STEP onleft foot to end the step.
