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. Okay now what we’re going to do is we’re going to put the basics together with a partner. Okay now men, remember you always need to be in control of the girls. Okay so take advantage of that at least when you’re dancing. What we’re going to do here we’re going to go right into our basic, so remember men we start going back on right because you’re dancing on two. Ladies you go forward on the left, what are you going to go, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha and 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha. Men push your girls to you when you go back and back when you go forward, okay we can also do a Cha-Cha-Cha basic like this. When you do it like this it gives you more room for you to move. Rremember move on the Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, if you want to move a little more dance like this…now don’t do this…keep the girls here, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, you want to dance a little closer, what do you do? Bring it back to you, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha and I always need to look on this side.
