Moderator note - This is being reposted to include a correction re how to
do the 'SWIVIT' step and deleting a mistaken reference to an apple-jack
step.  
   NO STEP OR COUNT CHANGES MADE.  Many thanks to the poster for
helping clear up the description of the SWIVIT and this moderator's
mistaken impression that this was similiar to an apple-jack step.


           TWENTY FOUR STEP Circle Dance

A good dance for *very fast* music.


NAME: TWENTY FOUR STEP
TYPE: Circle dance
POSITION: Solo or in pairs etc.  (CCW around the floor)
CHOREOGRAPHER: unknown
MUSIC: THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY by JOHN DENVER
	  SOLD by JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY
	  or any similar FAST 4/4 music (Good for music that is too fast
	  for anything else, like band break music)


First eight count:
2 LEFT HEEL, 2 SWIVITs RIGHT:
 1-2   	Left heel forward (45 degree angle to left), left foot together
 3-4   	Repeat steps 1-2
 5-6   	"SWIVIT" right so toes point to the right, then return toes to front.
 7-8   	Repeat steps 5-6

NOTE: (A right "SWIVIT" is done with weight on heel of the
       right foot and on the ball of the left foot, then pivot
       both feet to angle to the right at 90 degrees, so that the
       toes of both feet point to the right.  In doing so, the left
       heel moves left and the right toes move right.)
