Choreographed by  Jo Thompson
Description: 32 count, 2 wall, Beginner / Intermediate
Music: "Smoke Rings In The Dark" by Gary Allan from his CD "Smoke Rings In The Dark"
             "I Should Have Been True" by The Mavericks
Choreographers Notes: When doing this dance, or other Rhumba type dances the basic
timing is Quick (1) Quick (2) Slow (3,4). The slow steps are those followed by the holds.
For styling on these steps, try doing a slow weight change using the two counts to complete the step. 
This will help to give your Rhumba a more fluid quality and helps prevent any tendency to bounce.
