Choreographer’s notes: 24 count intro; finishes naturally at the front wall by wall 12 after the heel grind; no tags; 3 restarts – on walls 3, 6 & 8.
 
Those who don’t turn can replace them with mambo steps: replace the full triple turn with a R mambo step, the 1+1/4 turn with a ¼ R turning L mambo step. Enjoy!

Dedicated to Fern Conaghan, Valentin Stoykov, Gillian Spence, and Keeley Cooper-Spence, for their loyalty and support.

Beautiful dance, simultaneously sharp and fun. Love how your dances always have a little twist to make them out-of-the-ordinary - first your waltz now your cha-cha! Keep up the good work Tara.
