A modern cha cha cha.
An energetic and vibrant dance Music'08, choreographed by Bronya to a great track, Please Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna. This dance was performed by Bronya and Sze during our Social Night on 31 Oct recently.I was attracted to this dance firstly because of the song and secondly by the energy flow that comes from watching the dance.
Although this is a phrased dance with 3 sections of 32 counts each, it is manageable as the steps are clean and the body movements are neat & strong. We shall learn better coordinaton with our legs & body movements with this dance.
Same dance for Mon & Wed as lots of revision required. For this dance and others as well.
I have downloaded this video for your easy revision. Screen is a teeny weeny small but its ready to roll.
