Introduction to Cha-Cha Dancing for Beginners
This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and this is Cha-Cha, it’s my favorite dance. What you want to learn is the basic rhythm and we’re going to just do the easy version first and then I’m going to show you a different way to do it a little bit later. So we’re going to walk, step, one, two, three, that’s called a rock step, where you just change your weight and then you do triple step, one, two, three, rock, step, cha-cha-cha, rock, step, cha-cha-cha, rock, step. So you’re going to be going back on your right foot and cha-cha-cha, forward on your left, one, two, three. The most important thing is just keep backing up like this, you get confused by doing the other patterns you’re just going to keep saying to yourself rock, step, cha-cha-cha, rock, step, cha-cha-cha, sometimes it gets going fast, get every single step in there. Alright have fun!
