    Option for counts 9-16 (This really gives the dance the feel of doing a reel):

    When you stomp right forward, you can turn your foot slightly so the toes face 2 o’clock, so when you do counts & 11 & 12 you will have your left foot directly behind or slightly to the right of your right heel, similar to a lock step. And you would do the same for counts & 13 & 16 beginning with your left foot, it would point to 10 o’clock.
