On behalf of Expert Village my name is Susan and this is Alex, we’re here at Yuca Lounge with Salsa Mia and today we’re going to teach you the basics of Cha-Cha-Cha. Alright so now let’s go right into the second basic of Cha-Cha-Cha. Okay we’re going to do the same thing that we did when went forward and back but now we’re going to go sideways, we also start on the second count so what we’re going to do is start with the right foot. 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, left right, Cha-Cha-Cha and right 2, Cha-Cha-Cha, left 2, Cha-Cha-Cha, 1, 2, Cha-Cha-Cha. One thing that I want to tell you every time you go sideways, if you starting go side with the right take your right shoulder to the right, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha. Notice how my Cha-Cha-Cha’s were in place. It gives you enough room for you to move your body, that’s the beauty Cha-Cha-Cha. Every time you do your Cha-Cha-Cha’s they’re done in the spot and that gives you way more time to move your body so remember when you move don’t move on the 2, 3, move on the Cha-Cha-Cha.
