Dondon. You are of course correct. All the others only need to look at column one in Wally Laird's to see there are eight steps and beside that timing and beside that we have the beat value. And beside that go to Michael Wentink's DVD Out of Africa and tell me that he doesn't count his choreography in eights in the Jive.
Next time your out watch some of the others and check to see who are on
1 2 LF back for the Fallaway Rock with the music. In the Jive it is easy to pick up the eight count and if they do a Fallaway Rock or a Link or a Kick Ball Change see how many are on the correct beat.
