The step description and phrasing of this dance is quite detailed and can be off putting. Don’t let that deter you. Once you listen to the song a few times you will easily read what is coming next. We have tried to make the steps as doable as possible though interesting at the same time. Take a moment to phrase the song, which will help you understand the sequence. The difference in dance rhythms will also assist you in identifying what is coming next. Enjoy and don’t forget to use your hips in the cha cha and the bounce feel in the samba.
