Mexicali

The No. 4 top dance from The Linedancer - Mexicali, choreographed by Robbie M. We have done so many of his dances (Amame, Tap Room Boogie, Scooby Do, La Secret etc etc). So far all his dances are manageable with familiar steps/patterns. We will definitely enjoy Mexicali danced to a country song.
