Another old song revisited (with an appropriate name perhaps?) - from Michael Buble's

latest CD 'It's Time'.

The dance is a Mambo- Cha Cha 'hybrid', so in keeping with the Latin beat, try to

use your hips, and because of the fast tempo, dancing the cha cha's almost in place

rather than travelling on them should feel best.

Although the count sequence may look confusing at first, once you've got the steps

and can concentrate on the music I think you should have no trouble hearing each

sequence.
