(knee straight, toe sweeping floor or no higher than 6" off the floor)&Pivot ¾ right on left footREPEATPHRASING NOTE When performing the dance to "Beautiful Maria of My Soul" (both the English dance version and the Spanish practice version) two adjustments to the phrasing of the music will be needed. On the 5th wall there are 8 extra counts. Do counts 1-24, repeat counts 17-24, then finish with counts 25-32. (Your cue to make this adjustment will come when the singer sings the title of the song "Beautiful Maria of My Soul" for the first time.) The second adjustment comes in the flute solo which lasts 48 counts. Do counts 1-32 leaving out the ¾ pivot, then do counts 17-32 (with the pivot). Both adjustments are made when facing the left wall. For rumba styling use Latin motion in the hips, and use the arms to give expression to the dance and to facilitate turns.
