The easiest way to teach this dance is to drop the first and second "Hold" step in each set, and use a slow rumba or cha beat song. The footwork then becomes a step together, step, hold or a rock recover, step, hold. This dance then becomes a 48 count Rumba Dance. Once the moves have been mastered, try it to a very fast Waltz beat. The song "We Had It All" has a drum beat every 4th count in the waltz. This drum beat becomes the 4th count in each set. Some may wish to stay with the rumba or cha beat for this dance. 4th of July by Shooter Jennings is a great choice
