Mexico Cha-Cha

Choreographed:	Max Perry
Description:	56 count, 4 wall line dance, intermediate/advanced level
Music:	"Mexico" by Jimmy Buffett
This was one of those tunes I couldn't get out of my head until I choreographed something to this song! For a slow practice song on the same album try "Diamond As Big As The Ritz". You can also use any cha-cha rhythm. Try "I Like It Like That" by the Blackout All Stars or "Jazz Machine" by Black Machine from the movie soundtrack "Dance With Me" for a Latin feeling.
