The Cha Cha

The Basic Requirements of the Cha Cha

The Cha Cha and the Rumba have the same basic steps, they are just danced to a different rhythm. The Rumba is romantic whereas the Cha Cha is bright and lively.

• It should be a cheeky dance
• Individually dancing, not much touching
• Very synchronised movements, working in parallel with each other
• Lots of bum and leg action. The legs should not be outside the body frame.
