"This is called cut the corner. We're going to be moving around the bench and kind of cutting off the corner of the bench so to speak. It involves what we call little box steps. To review a box step, the foot crosses over and we step back. Step, cross over. We're going to actually turn the body, so I'm going to lead with the right foot to begin. Step, here's your cross over, and march 2 on the floor, which turns your body the other way. Step, cross. You've got to bend your knees for safety. I'm also going to have your lift and swing that leg around so it add a little bit momentum to the movement. Step, cut the corner, 7, 8. With the other lead foot, left foot. Step, so you just let that leg swing around. Step, swing, march on the floor, step, swing. Sometimes you'll see this in a full cut the corner. We call it cut the corner twice, or you just might see it one time where it brings you to the back side of the bench and you can add another movement to it. One more time with the left lead. Cut the corner. 1, 2, 3, 4, so its 8 count move. You'd have to add 3 more 8 count moves to make your combination into 32 counts."
