Choreographers note:- There are many remixes of this very popular piece of music - but the dance
will start in the same place no matter which you use.
With no tricky steps the dance is ideally suited for established beginners and above within the new levels.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm will electrify your soul'.
Dance starts after the long slow intro then after the words "Why you wanna do this to me boy".
