How to Dance the Cha Cha : Basic Cha-Cha Dance Steps

[MultiABC02]

i did this dance in school

[TomBrooklyn]

Please remake, showing full body and feet at all times, and showing how to count out from 1 to 8, and explaining how to step from 1 to 8, and counting it out that way clearly.

[ellaandthegalsxx]

mahn i do alot different chacha to this! i do side to side and forward back and after that new yorkers then turns then back to backs and stuff.

[glicerinaldehid]

this isn't cha cha this is rumba !!! OMG there are noobs!

[BrechtjeB]

@glicerinaldehid

sorry, this is a chacha ;)

i learn it like this way.

the rumba is quick quick sloow,

[Raikara]

@glicerinaldehid You're the noob here :). Rumba doesn't have ''cha cha'' thats why it is called a Rumba, and not a cha cha. The cha cha is replaced by a ''sloooow'' in a Rumba, dumbass.

[glicerinaldehid]

@Raikara oh yeah, it's true. Scuze me. i don't know why i said that it is cha-cha ..

[klainmaingr]

damn. that's one fine partner you have there ^^

[Art4Law]

Good Job. Far better than that Persaund dude.

[Emilinepinkie]

when you do "cha cha cha" you actually lift your feet up a little. You dont just move your knees

[Art4Law]

@Emilinepinkie No dude. there is different styles.

and you dance however you like as long as you keep proper time.

This a style closer to the Original Cha Cha cha.

not the performance oriented version of today.

He did say this is the "Romantic" Latin dance.

you dance slow and "Sabroso" with your honey.

I love this style but I can not find too many Chicks that know how.

They try to take-off, off the RACE gate.

[jamesandsab]

@Emilinepinkie

you never lift your feet

your feet slide across the floor always making contact

this is called tracking and what top dancers do

but i think you mean you move to the side on the chasse more then they are

they are doing it on the spot

he does say it is social cha cha hence on the spot good for a crowded nightclub

good demo and they move well

[saraa49]

great lady

[omnamahshivay99]

do u have to dance with a partner or can u do it urself

[Art4Law]

@omnamahshivay99 Well you have to practice on your own but ultimately it is a partner dance. Otherwise there is no purpose.

[Raikara]

@omnamahshivay99 Of course you can do it by yourself, but then it looks really gay..., so..., your choise....

[omnamahshivay99]

@Raikara LMAO uhh thanks but i really dnt give a damn bout it anyways so :P just wanted it since my group picked salsa, and we didnt want to look like idiots dancing together so yeaa :P

[mickey606]

[ceeIoc]

[Nik123dj]

[profeso07]

5 stars

[BlackRose3542]

This is how I learnt it at school (And it should be easier since it tells you what to do :p You njust have to remember to say each word on the beat)

....

Rock, rock, cha cha cha. Rock, rock, cha cha cha. New yorker, cha cha cha. New yorker cha cha cha. Spot turn, girl moves on.

...

That should help!

[krempel80]

this is the cuban chacha, the original one, the ballroom chacha was created in the new york ballrooms in the early 20th century...

its characteristic for it, that u bent ur knees...and the rythm is not this tightly danced, more smooth...

[cubanita1101]

Cha cha originally came from Cuba not USA...

[krempel80]

oops im sorry, i did not mean original chacha, but ballroom chacha came from new york and developed from the cuban one ;)

[misskitty83]

Is this a different kind of dancing? maybe not international style latin? If not, whats with all the bent knees? Wheres the extension? I thought cha is supposed to be snappy and clean?

[zaxbysboy92]

boy that lady got a donk

[gabynita]

they're doing a poorly imitation of the new york figure, and step forward, those are not the basics!!

[steviegurl38]

I THOUGHT something looked wrong. I'm taking Dance lessons at Arthur Murray and this is different than what I learned.

[seravi]

What you're learn could be International Latin Cha Cha. This is more American Rhythm/Social Cha Cha.

[steviegurl38]

@seravi Oh Ok! Thx...

[sillyg900]

not how I was taught the cha cha cha, some 45 yrs ago, step step cha cha cha, step step cha cha cha

[marduk1894]

the basic is wrong, cha cha cha, step is Luck steps! not in place,.. poor vid

[jcelsi]
