Traveling in Step in the Cha Cha Dance

Video Transcript

CHRISTINA HAGGERTY: I'm Christina. I'm teaching at Silhouette's today on behalf of Expert Village, and you're learning Cha-cha-cha, breaking on two and that's LA style. This step that I'm going to teach you know is just--I'm going to show you how to travel within the cha-cha-cha step. So reviewing our basic, it's one, two, forward, three, cha-cha-cha, break back, here is the change, cha-cha-cha, we travel, cha-cha-cha, break off, cha-cha-cha, two, three, cha-cha-cha, back step. So basically, what I'm doing is I'm taking the basic, and I'm using it to travel on the angle, and then, I square off with my back break, and then, I bring it to this angle, two, three, cha-cha-cha. It's really important that with any of these steps, you know how to keep the rhythm while moving in space and moving in different directions. So it's kind of a--it's a little bit of a test, an example, an exercise that you can use to keep that rhythm. So again, let's try it with one basic to start. It goes one, two, three, cha-cha-cha, six, seven, to the angle, two, three, cha-cha-cha, square off, seven, cha-cha-cha, two, three, cha-cha-cha, six, seven, eight.
