Introduction – Hold during the words “Its peanut butter jelly time”. Start the dance when the music starts. The introduction is 12 counts.

STEP 1

STEP 2
1-16 – Moving to the R – Step R, close L, step R, Tap L. Reverse, moving to the L – Step L, close R, Step L, Tap R. Repeat both R and L movements. This movement is done during the chorus with the words: “Peanut butter/jelly”.

STEP 3
1-16 – Scissors jumps-Jump and place one foot forward and the other foot back (1-2), jump reversing feet (3-4), jump and reverse feet again (5-6), jump with feet together, hold (7-8). Repeat the scissor jumps and hold. This movement is done during the words: “Peanut butter & jelly with a baseball bat…”

STEP 4

Repeat the entire combination starting on the L side with L foot stomping forward first.

Feel free to make this a 4 wall line dance by adding a ¼ turn to the L each time step 4 is performed. Before the turns are added, students will need to know the “special steps” (those that are only listed as being performed once) of the dance that go with the instructions in the music.
