NOTE:  Start this dance when the vocal starts, 16 beats after the drummer kicks in.
This dance is the original dance which MCA Records in Nashville was going to use to support the single release of "Honky Tonk Dancing Machine". On September 13, 1995, Steve Sheppard of MCA Records notified Gloria that they were going to use her dance instead of another one submitted by Sue Lipscomb who had done Watermelon Crawl and J-Walk for Tracy Byrd. Needless to say, Gloria was walking on air! From September until April, Gloria waited for the release of the song. However, that was not the way the story ends. In April, 1996, we were informed that the label had now  dropped plans to release "Honky Tonk Dancin' Machine" as a single and released their hold on the dance. Such are the ways of the music industry.
