Begin dance with 2nd chorus of the music on the note for RA of La cucaRAcha
or use only the quick 3 notes of the intro to begin the dance thereby ending at 12:00.
Sequence of Chorus and Verse: CC / VV / CC / VV / CC
Section I: The downbeat is the 4th note of the musical phrase and is where to begin to Run 3x then pause and Run again. (See near the bottom for a counting assist.)
Run, Run, Run 2x
1&2Run forward RLR
3&4Run forward LRL
Section II: Use the balls of both feet to do the unwinding bounces then put your weight to the left foot when Heels Down.
Side Point, Cross Touch, ½ Unwinding Turn
5-6Point R side, cross R over
7&8&½ turn left with 3 bounces then heels down
Section III: The downbeat is again the 4th note of the musical phrase and is where you Kick.
Kick, Behind, Side, Center 2x
1&2&Kick R diagonal, step R behind, step L side, step R to center
3&4&Kick L diagonal, step L behind, step R side, step L to center
Section IV: The last ampersand (&) covers the "La cuca" so that you can correctly begin the 1st section.
Heel, Together, Heel, Together, Forward Mambo, Chase
5&Touch R heel, step R together
6&Touch L heel, step L together
7&Rock R forward, recover L
8&Step R together, step L forward
Alternate combination for the last 4 steps - Rocking Chair
Repeat:
Ending: The last listed step becomes the first step of a 1/2 Turn ChaChaCha (LRL)
Here is a simple English version of the chorus I have created to 'help'.
- the cucaRAcha, the cucaRAcha / (X SUCH an) UGly little THING /
---x-----4----1(2)-3, --x----4----1(2)-3(4) / (--x--1------)---2---3---4----1 (2-3) /
- the cucaRAcha, the cucaRAcha / (X WON'T survive my mighty STING -
---x----4-----1(2)-3, --x----4----1(2)-3(4) / (--x---1------)---2------3-----4------1 (2-3) -
Also try this as a Contra Dance.
