Dance sequence:- 40 – 40 – 32 – 40 – 40 – 40 – 24
Choreographers note:- This is a SQQ Rumba, the intimacy of which is emphasised when performed with Cuban motion.
When danced, the ‘Hold’ (the 2nd beat of the ‘S’ (slow )) is a ‘follow through’ from the previous step or movement.
Ideal for the Beginner who is about to progress to the Advanced Beginner level.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts on vocals (‘I…’) with a hip push to the left (this only happens once - at the start as an extra step)
or alternately – start the dance on count 1 with the word ‘.. Give..’
