Lets do the cha cha cha






The Cha Cha Cha is yet another form of the latin american dancing that is getting popular in India. You must be familiar with the beat at any party you attend. The famous track to groove on is 'Sway with me'. The two slow beats and the three quick ones form the base of Cha Cha Cha. The quick beats are utilized to move side to side and towards the partner.

The dance has cuban origins. 
The cha-cha itself was invented by Enrique Jorrin, a Cuban violinist, in 1954. The name was derived only because the sound of the feet when moving across the floor sounded like ‘cha cha cha’.

Like any other Latin Dance, there is the forward basic and the back basic. This dance is known for its peppy and sensuous steps that weave magic on the floor. Also known as Cha Cha, it is all about how you transfer the weight of your body in three quick beats. Basically, its not just about the hip movements or the dips and spins, it is how the couple expresses themselves with perfect co-ordination.
