A Mexican waltz danced in a night club in Guadalajara, Mexico. Just beautiful but I could not copy it using my software. I use the one for You Tube and is doesn't work for all. If someone out there knows of one not too complicated or too expensive, please let me know.
The music was by Mariachis and just terrific with a Viennese swing to it. The dancers were not dancing the 1,2,3 steps as we know and love them. Most of them seem to start with a rock step - that is the lead rocks forward for a three count and rocks back for a three count. When the tempo changes, the lead goes forward in a chassé and back in a chassé.
Normally, the rock step is used in the faster tempo and the chassé in the slower tempo. However in social dancing, the lead may go into rock tempo in a slow tempo to exaggerate the feeling in the slow movement. The same applies to the fast tempo and using the chassé to exaggerate the happier music. This is social dancing to da max.
There are left turns and right turns and hand to hand with the lady making an underarm turn. All simple moves that are done in dozens of other dances. How about a cross body lead? Why not? Of course, they can be done by anyone of our night club friends that could enjoy this music. Unfortunately we have a long time to wait for Mariachis.
"What that? You have heard nasty rumors about us?
If those people hate us, they must be true. No?

Of course not, who is happy when the wine runs out?"
