Hi, this is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and this is the Cha-Cha cross body lead for the men and its part. The cross body lead is a basic step turning 180 degrees. So if I start in towards you I begin doing cross body lead, I would have my back to you. Okay and it goes like this, so the guy or guys side, rock, step, Cha-Cha, slide to your right, rock forward you’re going to turn 90 degrees to your left, two, three and then Cha-Cha, side, you’re partner’s moving over to your right side and then you’re going to bring her through and rock back on your right foot, rock back just like your basic steps. So it’s forward on the left, turn away pretend like you don’t like her don’t look at her and then bring her through just rocking, Cha-Cha, side, two, three, Cha-Cha, side, two, three. You can also do it with holding on with two hands and then that case you can bring your right hand over the left, Cha-Cha, one, two, three, Cha-Cha, she’s over there whip her in front of you and her hair went…move a little bit, then you get that cheeky Cha-Cha look.
