Cha-Cha Dance Lesson...

The Cha-Cha came from the Cuban Mambo. It originated during the Mid-1950s when musicians began syncopating the 4th beat of music which resulted in a "triple step." Dancers soon began creating steps based on this new "triple step" pattern and the resulting dance became known as the "Triple Mambo." Now it is called the Cha-Cha. A bit faster than the Cuban Rumba, the Cha-Cha emphasizes staccato movements and incorporates limitless syncopations making it a dynamic and exciting dance.
