I advanced a level... but i haven't been taught coca cola yet.. :?

[peachexploration]

What, no Cola Cola yet? :shock: Depending on the structure of your classes, should have gotten that at Advanced Beginner or Intermediate. :? From guapea, it's really just a complete left turn spin for the follow on the leads left ending with Díle Que No.

Okay, level 5? It should be coming soon. :D Are they teaching the hand signals as well? Really comes in handy if the music is too loud or there is a large group.

[Miami Rueda dancer]
