There are 3 different cuts of this song on 3 different Ricky Martin CDs, which sometimes varies between countries. "The Cup Of Life (Remix-English Radio Edit)" from the "Viva!" CD, Sony A31059, will also work. "La Copa de la Vida (The Cup Of Life)" from the "Vuelve" CD has a 2 beat tag that beginning level dancers have a difficult time dancing through. Styling for this dance is definitely Latin with "mucha" hip action
