Dance Sequence:- A A+B A-A A+B A-A A+B A A+B (counts: 32-48-32-32-48-32-32-48-32-48)
Choreographers note:- A QQS Rumba with unusual phrasing. Though the music is over 3 minutes long,
the dancer will only complete one full 4 wall cycle. The dance provides room for artistic and Latin styling.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts after 32 count intro with Julio and the Choir singing the Chorus ‘Guantanamera’.
