Style Note:- The Hooks (or Gancho’s) play a large part within the dance that you see being performed World-wide.
Choreographers note:- THERE IS ONLY A SHORT 2 COUNT INTRO TO THE DANCE.
The dance is based on the Argentinean style Tango and uses both Lead and Partner step combinations.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
IMPORTANT NOTE 1:- There are THREE different Wall starts to coincide with the accent changes within the music.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2:- The tempo on the first Wall (57bpm) of the dance is slower than the other three (63bpm). Make allowances for this when both learning and dancing..
