6,7Rock-step back Left, rock-replace forward onto Right
8,&,1Cha-cha forward Left, Right, Left
2,3,4Rock-step forward Right, rock-replace back onto Left, step back Right
To fit the music, one Tag (above) and one Restart are necessary. Both are danced on instrumental sections of the song following the chorus and the words ‘Tequila or Beer’, so are easy to hear, and both also come after 3 completed patterns of the dance. The restart (30 counts) simply entails leaving off the last 2 steps of the normal pattern.
The count pattern is; 32, 32, 32, 12, 32, 32, 32, 30, 32, 32, etc
This dance was choreographed (upon request) for a Brisbane Line Dancers reunion - I was even given a name ‘Reunion Rhumba’, but couldn’t find a rhumba & settled on this cha-cha - and as ‘Reunion
Cha-cha’ didn’t sound right, I named it for Chris who organized the whole thing.
