Intro: 16 counts
Step Description by Debi Pancoast as translated from YouTube video
Music phrase with the music meaning it's meant to be danced as the instrumental notes hit rather than beats counted, but here's a solid effort at breaking it down for you anyway. Dance it low and grounded and let your body get into the groove.
The first 32 counts are actually 8 counts done 4 times. You rotate turn ¼ left during each 8 counts to end at your front wall
STEP, HOOK, SWING, BEHIND-¼-BALL-COASTER-STEP, BRUSH, HITCH, BALL-STEP-HEEL-OUT-IN-HEEL-OUT-STEP
1-3 Step right forward; step/hook left behind right; swing right from front to back
&a4 Cross right behind; turn ¼ left and step forward on ball of left; step together on ball of right
&a5 "Coaster" left: step back on ball of left; step together on ball of right, step left forward
6&a7 Slowly brush right foot forward into right hitch; step together on ball of right;
step in place left; touch right toe forward
&a8 Swivel right heel "out" right; swivel right heel "in" center; step in place right
&a Swivel left heel "out" left; swivel left heel "in" and step in place left
1-8 Repeat counts 1-8
1-8 Repeat counts 1-8
1-8 Repeat counts 1-8

Counts 41-48 are like skating and pushing off a few times on one foot to go faster, then switching feet

*Arms for 1-4: while you sway your body during your steps, also sway both arms naturally side
to side, so as you step with your left, you "drum" down and center with your right arm
to side,as your left arm swings slightly up and to the side, then swing right arm up as left
arm drums down when you step with your right*

to left
7&a8a Run in place right-left-right-left-right-left making a full turn left (ending at front wall)

on & (hoo), straight up on 7 (hoooooo) as you look at it, and down on 8; while left arm goes

ENDING
On the third time through, when you get to the "dig, step, woohoohooooo" section, you'll do counts 57-64, then turn ¼ left and do counts 65-72, then turn ¼ left and do counts 65-72 again, then ¼ left and do counts 65-72 one last time, ending by slowly walking off the floor to the side wall through the end of the song
