Chabella

Choreographer: Neil Hale (USA) June 2003
Description: 64 count 2 wall, Easy Intermediate line dance

Music: "It's Now or Never" by Elvis Presley
Choreographers Notes: There is an 8 count musical intro which begins after first strong base note.  Near the end of the song the beat will drop off for 19 counts. The dancers should continue dancing during this time. During the first teach the instructor may want to count these beats out loud, especially the "holds", until the dancers get used to counting on their own. It is important to hold for a full beat when the step sheet calls for this in order to start properly when the music resumes.
