Hi Kathy! Don't feel bad, you are not alone. I see this happen in my classes too. That sequence has some "cross phrasing" (technical choreography term) in it which will make you feel a little off the phrase (or out of sync with the music) for a couple of beats and then suddenly your back on the phrase (or back in sync with the music). It is that musical "off balance" feeling that tends to make a person also want to rush the movement to get back in sync.
Ok, Lets talk it through: It' easy even though it visually looks like a lot of work here ;-)
leading right............Do a ROCK PRESS on the left side of the step(right leg on step/count 1...left knee lift lifts/count 2....left foot down on the floor/count 3...right knee lifts/count 4.
Now Go Over The Top...rt foot on step/count 5....left foot on the step/count 6....
Now Rebound.....right foot down on the floor (off the right side of the step) and the left foot lifts up at the same time(dangling over the top of the step)/both actions are on count 7
Count 8 is where the cross phrase occurs because you end the rebound on count 8 plus you start your over the top in the other direction on count 8 too.....
Go Over The Top....traveling toward the left side of your step, step on the step with the left foot/count 8....then step on the right foot/count 9.
Exit The Left Side Of The Step.....place your left foot down off the left side of the step/count 10......cross your right leg behind your left foot AND at the same time lift your left foot in the air (thats a ball change there)/count 11....place your weight back on your left foot/count 12
Now comes your SHUFFLE.....place your right foot on the step, followed immediately by your left on the step and then your right again on the step (thats your Shuffle action also known as a triple step or a ball change). As you do this quick shuffle step you need to turn your body so that you are facing the left side of your step/count 13 and 14.
Now STRADDLE your step.....you just finished your shuffle with your weight on your right foot so now place your left foot down in a straddle position followed by your right foot down on the TV side of the step/count 15 and 16.
You are now ready for the FAST FOOT REPEATER....put your left foot up on the step/count 1....then lift your right knee up/count 2.....now TAP your right foot down/count 3....quickly shift your weight on top of the step from your your right foot to your left foot and finish by placing your weight FIRMLY on your left foot on the step/count 4 and 5........ pull your right knee up/count 6......step down on the TV side of your step with your right foot/count 7.......and finally step down with your left foot also on the TV side of your step and place it right next to your right foot (you are now facing the back wall)/count 8
using your right foot you are ready to start your triple step going around the corner of the step on the floor.
Hope this helps
