After thinking it over, when it was time to review the dance, I simply told them to do this: CROSS, BACK, SIDE 1 Step right across left 2 Step left straight back 3 Step right next to left CROSS, BACK, SIDE 4 Step left over right 5 Step right straight back 6 Step left next to right 7 Cross right over left 8 Unwind half turn to left It isn't as showy as the original footwork, but it is easier, gets you to the same place on each count and doesn't change the movement of the dance. If some can do the original footwork it fits right in.
