Z-step

A Z-step (also known as a zig-zag) forms the letter "Z" as you move. Step up on the bench, move across, back diagonally, and step across. You will end up facing the same way, off to the side from where you started. (The "Z" is formed by counts 3-8.) You may also want to tap your foot on counts 4 and 6, which may make the move easier.

This move is done in 8 counts:

• 1. Step up on the bench with the lead foot.
• 2. Step up on bench with other foot.
• 3. Step across the bench with your lead foot.
• 4. Step and bring your other foot next to the lead foot.
• 5. Step back diagonally with your other foot.
• 6. Step back diagonally with your lead foot so you are now in the same position as when you started.
• 7. Step to the side with your lead foot.
• 8. Step to the side with your other foot, bringing it next to your lead foot.
