Dirty Dancing Havana
Mmm salsa hip hop fusion. My favorite!
So I guess there was some movie remake of Dirty Dancing, but staged in Havana, Cuba. I didn’t see it (I heard it was awful) but I like the music from the soundtrack. This track is by Black Eyed Peas, called “Dirty Dancing”.

We’ll be doing this routine for a couple weeks, so get comfy!
Latin Jazz routine – Silly Samba!
“I wanna walk like you.. talk like you do.. “ I’m really enjoying doing a little samba that’s just fun and a little silly to “I Wanna Be Like You” by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Hope you enjoy these steps as much as I do!

See you at Reach Friday mornings at 8:25 am or at Equinox Sundays at 11 am for more of this routine.

And here’s the same routine with the counts (feel free to travel more than I did – I was scared of running off the screen the whole time):
