ADDAMS FAMILY LINE DANCE

Click "show more" to see step description. Phrased high beginner line dance choreographed by Dolly Kingsley. I edited the track to add 7 counts before the dance starts because there's no intro. Dolly has posted a step sheet, but here is a summary. This description corresponds to the distinctive and familiar music.

First da-da-da-dum, facing front
1-8: Step R to side, close L, snap 2X; repeat
1-8: Step R to side, close L, step R, close L, step R, TOUCH L, snap 2X.
Da-da-da-dum music repeats, so do the first 16 steps starting to the left, ending weight L

Verse 1 ("They're creepy and they're kookie," etc.)
1-8: Vine R, touch; vine L, touch
1-4: Walk fwd R, L, step, turn 1/2 L [6]
5-8: Touch R heel fwd, step R home; touch L heel fwd, step L home

Verse 2 ("Their house is a museum, etc.)
1-8: Vine R, touch; vine L, touch
1-4: Walk fwd R, L, step turn 1/2 L [12]
5-6-7: Touch R heel fwd, step R home, STEP L home

Second da-da-da-dum, facing front
1-8: Step R to side, close L, snap 2X; repeat
1-8: Step R to side, close L, step R, close L, step R, TOUCH L, snap 2X (weight on L)

This does not repeat to the left. Instead, when the music starts "So get a witch's shawl on . . . ," you will go RIGHT again with your vines

1-8: Vine R, touch, vine L touch
1-4: Walk fwd R, L, step turn 1/2 L [6]
"The Addams Fa-mi-ly" (slowly)
5-8: Touch R heel fwd, step R home; touch L heel fwd, step L home
1-4: REPEAT heel touches, ending wt L

Instrumental verse, facing back wall
1-8: Vine R, touch, vine L, touch
1-4: Walk fwd R, L, step, turn 1/2 L [12]
5-6-7: Touch R heel fwd, step R home, STEP L

Third "da-da-da-dum," facing front
1-8: Step R to side, close L, snap 2X; repeat
1-8: Step R to side, close L, step R, close L, step R, TOUCH L, snap 2X
Da-da-da-dum music repeats, so do the steps starting to the left, ending weight L

ENDING: the music continues with the da-da-da-dum repeated
1-12: Step R to side, close L; repeat 4X, snap 2X
1-4: Step R to side, close L, snap 2X
1-2: Step R to side, close L and snap simultaneously

It's not as complicated as it sounds--just watch the video and listen to the music to figure it out. Thanks to the students in the Hibiscus and Pimlico rec center classes in The Villages, FL for making the video.
