A classic all time fabulous favourite every Linedancer should know

BimboBoots September 10, 2022
Members of my class have seen this danced at numerous events over the years, more recently a full floor at WDM. They requested I teach it and I did just that. A fabulous cha-cha with no tags/restarts. Not too difficult and steps are pure cha. There are hips, swivels, locksteps & pivot turns. The track is a a glorious, smoulderingly sexy track by Kenny G. I am enjoying this journey of accepting dance suggestions from my members it gives me a chance to learn these classic (still danced dances) AND teach them what they want. A fabulous timeless classic that should be in every dancers dance rolodex. Love it!
