| Cowboy Calypso | ![]() |
| CHOREOGRAPHED | By Bill Marcontell (407) 239-3495 |
| DESCRIPTION | 56 count, Beginner/Intermediate, Two-Wall Line Dance |
| This dance presents a combination of Country / Western and Calypso. The practice song gives dancers a chance to clap hands on the fourth beat of the hip wiggles & is it a slightly faster beat than the dance song. "Jump In The Line" seems to go quite well with the steps and gives dancers a chance to get a feeling of Calypso Rhythm | |
