Another Option:
Right Axial Box (Done in place of section 2 Heel Taps and
section 3 Heel & Toe Taps)

Right Axial Box
(1) Right heel forward as you rotate 1/4 to right on your left foot.
(2) Right toe to the right side  as you rotate 1/4 to right on your left foot
(3) Right heel to the right side  as you rotate 1/4 to right on your left foot
(4) Right toe to the right side  as you rotate 1/4 to right on your left foot

As you stand on your left foot, keep the heel toe movement very close
together while you rotate. This step will take some practice but it  looks good
