Alt..... Dare (La La La) by Shakira or choreographers preferred version
(128 bpm...64 count intro) (Both available on iTunes and other download sites taken from “Shakira” album)
Choreographers note:- The dance is choreographed as a 2 wall dance, but because of the Restart on wall 2 the dance changes from starting on the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock walls to starting facing the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock walls from wall 3 onwards, hence why I have put 4 in brackets in the description, as all 4 walls are used although technically it's only 2 wall.
