ChaCha

This dance may be either danced to authentic Cuban music, Latin Pop, or Latin Rock. The music for the international ballroom ChaCha is energetic and with a steady beat. The Cuban cha-cha-chá is more sensual and may involve complex polyrhythms. Styles of ChaCha dance may differ in the place of the chasse in the rhythmical structure. The original Cuban and the ballroom cha-cha-cha count "two-three-chachacha". This is a very playful fun dance that is great to know for the avid Latin dancer.
