Caballero for 25 May 2011

I think this must be the best of Ira's choreography.(Seduced,Mojo Rhythm, Cumbia Semana, Linda Eh, Mirame, ballando etc etc)

A Rumba with a touch of Tango.
Ira says this is a very popular song in Italy and is included in most parties....

"This Rumba/Tango (from Italy) is an elegant combination of rhythms that give you the feeling you are dancing on air. The response to this dance has been wonderful.The greatest compliment, however, has been from Italy !!! I have received numerous e-mails and comments from line dancers in Italy who are already teaching it in their classes and at workshops and gatherings all over Italy!!"
