Five(ish) Minute Dance Lesson: Cha Cha Cha, Level 1

Have you ever wanted to take a Latin Dance class but didn’t have enough time? In this podcast, Latin Dance instructors Ricardo Loaiza and Elba Garcia prep you to dance the night away! Once you’ve practiced all three dances, find a local Latin Dance club or bust these moves at the next school dance! Wepa!
In this lesson you will do a rock step-a forward or backward step that takes your weight just slightly, rocking you back where you started. It is fast, so stay light on your feet and transfer only enough weight to enable lifting the opposite foot. In between rock steps, get those feet moving quickly to complete the triple step. You can count 1, 2 (for the rock step) then cha- cha- cha (for the triple step).

4:47 - I danced cha-cha for years, and that "pivot" is known by most cha-cha dance instructors as the push-away turn or, more frequently, "the spot turn".

I need to find their school. Very clear instructions, excellent camera person and with a live band. Thanks

Me encanta la paciencia que tienen los dos para explicar. Ademas de los pasos tan claros con las pequeñas imagenes de movimiento de los pies en bajo de pantalla

"GUITAR LOVERS CHA CHA" by award winning guitarist, Tim Stark, sounds similar to Smooth by Santana; but a tiny bit slower for beginner practice. Royalty Free use for dancers making videos, just give song/artist credit. Find on itunes, etc or Listen here free ​@t​

It’s a bad camera directed, don’t cutoff and change camera in the middle of the turn or change sequence.
