Note: No tags or restarts. Steps are for the salsa version of this dance. See notes for modifications to do as cha cha cha. If the music suits a break on count ‘2’, then start the dance with a side step R on the RF on count ‘1’ and then count the other steps as 2,3,4,1 for salsa, and 2,3,4&1 for cha cha cha. Try to incorporate lots of hip action and variations. Most importantly, smile and have fun!
