Fun Variations From The Halloween In Harrisburg Dance Weekend:
Do the dance as written up to the 6th wall on which you will do steps 1-20. If you listen to the 
music it says something about football. On counts &21-24 do a squat making a ¼ turn to the left, 
then stand up facing to front (another ¼ turn right). Count as follows:
17-20 	Step left to left side, slide step right beside left-step left to left side, 
	touch right beside left 
&21-24 	Step left, make a ¼ turn, squat for two counts, ¼ turn to front 

From then on only vary counts &13-16 and &21-24 on each wall!
First variation: do toe points with the left foot. for counts &13-16 and toe points with right foot 
on &21-24. On the next wall do two ½ pivot turns. The next time do slow paddle turns. 
On the wall after that do fast paddle turns. Then do heel jacks on the next wall. Then spank the baby 
(hold hand up other spanks the baby). Then the Herkie Jerkie (arms pump up and down in front of body 
opposite to each other). The last set everyone poses and yells the Canadian "Eh".
