Choreographers note:- The dance includes an optional intro which was created by Joyce Lim (Jus Danz, Singapore).

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Optional intro starts when Enrique starts to sing ‘Ring my bells’ for the first time.
Main dance starts after ‘Ring my bells’ intro & 3 counts into the short musical break. Feet apart, weight on right.
