How to Dance the Cha-Cha in Turns With a Partner
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 actually be doing some turns when we do Cha-Cha-Cha okay. Like I said before when you want to do turns you want to be a little more separate from the girl. Okay, you don’t want to be here when you’re going to do turns you want to have some space, some room. So what we’re going to do here is we’re going to go first into our basic. We’re going to go 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, turn girls, Cha-Cha-Cha and back 2, Cha-Cha-Cha. Girls you start turning on your left, on the 2, 3. We do our basic is 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, left, right, Cha-Cha-Cha. Men look on the position on my right level when I do the Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha. That looks very manly and looks really nice. Girls do the same thing with leg as you step. 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha. See that position that’s the way you girls should always have the knee bent okay. Let’s do that turn again, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha and 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, so men look at my fingers.
