Moonlight Lady - Julio Iglesias : (Album: "1100 Bel Air Place" / Many Compilations)
Choreographers note:- The tempo of the music (and the dance) is Cuban Cha Cha and being slow and rhythmic, it will allow for as much full bodied styling as the dancer requires.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts after 50 second intro – on the word ‘Light’ as in ‘Moonlight Lady…’. Feet slightly apart.
