This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and we’re doing Cha-Cha cross over breaks and this means you’re going to be rocking forward. So we’re changing the direction of our rock. If I’m a leader I’m going to lead my left foot on the two, three, Cha-Cha, one, follower on the right. We’re going to be switching hands, so you just want to face your partner on the Cha-Cha, one. Then you do a little turn, two, three but ladies always one eye on the guy, Cha-Cha, one, two, three. This is what it looks like from the other direction, two, three, Cha-Cha, slide, you’re going to be taking your partner’s hand in the middle and then you switch, two, three.
