Choreographed by J.W. Grimes
Description: 40 count, 4 wall, intermediate line dance
Music:
Thinkin' About You by Trisha Yearwood [96bpm Cha / Songbook: A Collection Of Hits]

The dance "Sex On The Beach" appears to be a badly remembered version of Mambo Shuffle, where the mambo steps
in the first 16 counts are done once each instead of twice. So the mambo steps in "Sex On The Beach" only take 8
counts instead of 16.
