This was one of those tunes I couldn't get out of my head until I choreographed something to this song! For a slow practice song on the same album try "Diamond As Big As The Ritz". You can also use any cha-cha rhythm. Try "I Like It Like That" by the Blackout All Stars or "Jazz Machine" by Black Machine from the movie soundtrack "Dance With Me" for a Latin feeling
