Enjoy this easy Rumba to many dances, including: Besame Mucho (any),
Sway, Rhythm of the Rain, Save the Last Dance for Me, or any others of
course that you like!

I chose the Trini Lopez “The Album Version” over all of his and others – it is perkier,
a touch quicker without losing the attitude of the song or the dance :-)

Please do not alter this step sheet in any way. If you would like to use on your

S 1: 3&4 I find its more comfortable on these two QQ steps to step L a little back from R on the diagonal and then replace weight to R. Either way is fine - as long as you are dancing!
