This dance can be embellished with lots of body movement. Try shimmying your shoulders when doing the jazz box. The intermediate dancer may choose to do a full Monterey turn to the right in place of "pointing right toe" in the 3rd eight counts and in place of the merengue sequence you may choose a three point turn both right and left or chasses both right & left.
