Party Hearty - The Party Song
Back To Main Party Page

I've tried to keep this as simple as possible.  Everyone should be having fun partying without having to worry about what steps come next.  It is a one-wall dance.  What is different about these dance steps is that they follow basic song structure and are slightly different for each part of the song.   

The main steps to the Verses are a hybrid between the "Electric Slide" and the "Boot Scootin' Boogie", with a 360o CCW turn  ( 4 Quarter Turns left) at the end 

The Chorus steps are a couple of rock steps with weight shifts between right and left legs with some hand raising hollering "Party" on steps 7&8.  All done with Philly Mummer's Gusto & Swagger  

The Bridge or Break is 32 beats of free for all,  Stomping feet and clapping hands to the music.  Do what you want, BUT make sure you are back to the starting position on beat 32,  ready to go into three more verses       

Ending - 24 Count  is three sets of 8 Count Sashay Up & March Back

We’ll celebrate everything in sight

We’re gonna have a wild party tonight
