An exotic cocktail of 48 steps blended together to create an intoxicating dance which is definitely shaken, not stirred.
A 2 wall dance experience (who needs those confusing side walls anyways?!?)
(Sip your drink as you leisurely stroll onto the floor and avoid any unnecessary extra steps.
Why tax the brain anymore than needed?
You’ve got 56 counts before you start, that’s approx 37 sec.
You’ll hear some muted trumpets and when she starts singing gibberish…..dance away!)
