Intro: 32 counts. No Tags or Restarts. Right rotation.
For Bachata styling, roll your hips on every move. Raise your foot slightly off the floor to get the flowing rhythmic swaying motion of hips. As you dance, keep your knees slightly bent, bending your knee more when you raise your foot. Feel the beat!
