I'm supposed to make this choreography for a party taking place about 3 weeks from now.

I've thought to make a girl-only show, meaning I got these 8 girls (I'm one of them), 4 of them can lead... and I wanted to make this choreography where everybody is dressed in white, with caps on, and at one moment in the music the girls who are leaders should remove their caps and let the hair loose. Then continue... :)

The thing is I have not yet decided which song to use... I need something medium-tempo, with not tooooooo many breaks (it's hard to hit all accents and it's my first choreography - I love "Salsa" of Yuri Buenaventura, but it's soooooooo full of accents...). And I don't want to use Sonora Carrusselles... they play it way too much in my country...

Any suggestions...?
Thanks in advance

Una Canita Al Aire - La Solucion

I like this one too. It sounds like a good fit from you what describe.

No Me Acostumbro by Rey Ruiz might be nice as well. :D

That song is pretty slow.

How long is the performance squirrel? Joe Arroyo - "Fuego en mi mente" is only about 2:19, but it's a great song! also check out Wayne Gorbea - "El yo-yo"

Geez, No Me Acomstumbro, was just a suggestion. I think that's what squirrel asked for. :roll:

No biggie, just commented it may be a bit slow. Wasn't trying to attack you or anything.

No me acostumbro is indeed a bit slow... but it is a lovely song...

My students want us to make the choreography on Dejate Querer of Jose Alberto El Canario... but it's oh so slow...

Guys and gals, thanks for suggesting... anybody else wants to have a say in this?
