Cha-cha adds fun to your dancing through its syncopated steps and many open movements. When you can dance many interesting combinations with ease, you and your partner will be able to feel the pulsating Latin rhythms which make this dance so fascinating. It works with music from Latin, Big Band and Country to Top 40.
One of the most popular Latin dances in the U.S., the Cha-cha began as a variation of the Mambo called triple Mambo. It was so easy and so much fun; it became the rage of the early 1950’s. Its infectious one-two, one-two-three rhythm demands that sitters become dancers. Everybody can learn the Cha-cha.
