JINGO

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (3rd August 2006)
COUNT: 64
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced
MUSIC: Jin-Go-Lo-Ba by Santana-129 bpm (Best Of / Ultimate / many other compilations)

Choreographer's note: Many peoples all time favourite 'Santana' track - certainly one of the most well known. Phrased artistically (alternate 1st section) and with omitted counts (1-16 on the 7th
wall) this dance is suitable for those dancers moving into the Advanced section of the new levels.
On some albums and download sites the title has been shortened to 'Jingo' - only use the original
studio version by Santana [accept no substitute]

Note: This is a revamped, extended and higher level version of the earlier dance 'By Jingo'

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'

Dance starts on first 'heavy' drum beat (10 secs from start) with feet together and weight on left
