The video starts with basic Charleston (groove walks), with the addition of the kicks to the basic it becomes 30s Charleston.

Leaders: make sure that you start by rock stepping back on your left leg, and finish the basic by stepping down on your right leg on count 8 so that you are ready and able to start again by stepping back on your left leg on count 1.

Followers: start by stepping back on your right leg, and make sure to step down on your left leg on count 8 so that you are ready to start again with your right leg stepping backwards on count 1.
