Torbio and Daisy

Description

This piece is a cha cha written to depict a mutt dog and a pit bull. The pit bull would would bark at anything and anyone, but while wagging its tail. At the same time, the mutt would bark at the pit bull to try to get her to stop barking, eventually biting the pit’s leg and causing a whirling dervish, attack mess of hilariousness. True story! Cha Cha was a style that came after the Danzon. Studying both of these will help to capture the elements that will make this successful. The solo changes are easy, so have the newer students try shorter solos to get their skills started.
