Viva Latino Party: Tribute to Whitney Houston & Fong Fei-Fei
Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | February 19, 2012It’s such a sad start of the year with the demise of 2 amazing singers, who have much contributed to the music industry and for us, line dancers who appreciate their music so much.
The dance Ja Ja Mbo, choreographed by Kenny Teh, is choreographed to the song popularly known as Cha Chambo. I’ve heard this song so much in my childhood and have added the dance in my list. While dancing to the song, do say a little prayer for Fong Fei-Fei.
The dance I Will Always Love U, choreographed by John Warnars, is choreographed to the original track sung by Dolly Parton and Vince Gill. But the song became hugely popular when sung by Whitney Houston in the movie The Bodyguard. I love all her songs. Thus, as a tribute to Whitney Houston, I will be using Whitney Houston’s song I Will Always Love You instead. The song is very melodious with her amazing voice belting out the emotions. However there will be a change in the phrasings, with John Warnars’ permission.
- Start when Whitney sings “Sweet” in “BitterSWEET Memories…”
- Restart only on Wall 2 after 24 counts (same spot) facing back wall).
- Tag after Wall 4 (facing front wall) – danced during the ‘break in music’ – 4 counts – Cross RF over LF and unwind full turn over L shoulder, then start the dance again from count 1 after the heavy beat kicks in (on the word “I”, in “and I…”)
- The main dance (32 counts) remain the same!
- Edited music in Dropbox, or pls email me for this version.
- Say a little prayer forย Whitney when dancing..

Rest in Peace, Fei Fei & Whitney!
