Choreographer's variations:
*1* For 17&18 and 21&22 replace the kick-ball-step with a
kick-ball-twist where you twist both heels to the right,
transferring weight onto the left foot.
*2* Replace 19-20 and 23-24 with: Step forward/Twist (Left),
Step forward/Twist (Right).
*3* The kick-steps (53-60) can be done with slight hops.

Styling: This dance should be done in the "Elvis Style".
Use "Elvis" knees whenever suitable e.g on toe-heel struts etc.
