Cha Cha

The cheeky Cha Cha is very similar in style and moves to the Rumba, but the addition of the “quick-quick-slow” steps over beats 4 and 1 gives this dance a playfulness that the serious Rumba lacks. Danced at a slightly faster tempo, and with the addition of these quick steps, the Cha Cha is a vibrant, fun dance, popular with both social and competitive dancers alike. If you have a good grasp of the Rumba, the Cha Cha is easily picked up.
