Style Note:- The Hooks (or Gancho’s) play a large part within the dance that you see being performed World-wide.
Choreographers note:- THERE IS ONLY A SHORT 2 COUNT INTRO TO THE DANCE.
The dance is based on the Argentinean style Tango and uses both Lead and Partner step combinations.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
IMPORTANT NOTE 1:- There are THREE different Wall starts to coincide with the accent changes within the music.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2:- The tempo on the first Wall (57bpm) of the dance is slower than the other three (63bpm). Make allowances for this when both learning and dancing..
Dance starts after the 2nd count of the music – be prepared
