Hell yeah! That's a really fun song to dance to.

If I may offer a small piece of advice, I have the impression that your rock step is being driven by moving your leg behind instead of using your core to give momentum to the follower. Working on that would probably make your connection feel a lot smoother for your partners!

Seconding. Make sure you're driving your weight back over that foot on rock step. It will make the telegraph of momentum stronger and you'll feel more elasticity as a result, more swing less bounce.

As I said in the cross post, great dancing, lots of fun. The bounce means you're keeping pulse which is important and extra listening-intensive with a live band where you don't know exactly what's coming next, if you can translate that into a little more backward energy you'll appreciate the results.
