Dance - "POCO LOCOs"

• Overview

POCO LOCO dances are choreographed to specific songs. Each part of the song (the verse, the chorus, the bridge and the instrumental) has a set pattern that repeats each time that section of the song plays. POCO LOCO dances come in various formations: lines, circles, pairs, etc. Once they are learned, they are easy to remember because the movements are connected to each part of the song. They are fun and can be quite vigorous.
