Dance sequence:- 48-48-32-48-32-32-32-48-32-f16
Choreographers note:- The steps may look simple.. it’s the multiple restarts that will get you thinking.
Faster and ‘funkier’ than the original laid back syncopated Bossa Nova style, but full use of the hips and
arms will go some way in recapturing the original flavour. Short steps are essential with this type of dance.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
