CHA CHA IN THE JAZZ STYLE
Styling note: Body faces Right diagonal front throughout this section.
Left shoulder leads on counts 9 and 17 and Right shoulder leads on
count 13. The diagonally backward Jazz lean comes from the strength
in the legs which allows you to keep the back straight ie not arched,
and fully supported. Arms at side with relaxed hands or if you are
wearing a hat try touching Left hand to hat brim on counts 9 and 17
and grasp top of hat with Right hand on count 13.
This section looks great with a hat.
