This is music for lovers. Music to evoke the spells of far-off places.
Exciting nights and extravagant days. "Cha Cha" is a blood relation
   to the cuban Bolero, the Rhumba and theMambo.......but a relation 
with new spice and flavor added....a tingling, pulsating call to dance.
In its original form, Cha cha cha is wild, free and expressive with a
savage rhythm that suggests primitive rituals and passions under the
starry sky. Dancers lost in the syncopated magic of this captivating
 beat let their bodies echo the daring and urgency of the jungle drums 
throbbing in the starlit night. It will take America by storm!........

Imagine!  We'll be doing the Rumba in Havana the night after

dancing the Mambo in Paramaribo at week's end.Then it's Rio.
A cruise always presents a challenge of adventure. You'll dine, 
wine & dance the night away.The steamship whistle rends the air.
But come! You havent started yet. The gangplank is up and the 
music is playing. It's time for your tropical cruise.......................
