Cha-cha is one of the most Latin dances at dance competitions. It is a lively and
fun dance that really gets you dancing on the dance floor. This dance requires small steps and
lots of hip motion.
The origin of the name Cha-cha has two version. First was given credit to a Cuban composer
and violinist named Enrique Jorrin. He coined the term Cha-cha to vocally mimic the shuffling
sound of the dancer’s shoes when it hits the dance floor. This dance was imported by Pierre
Lavelle to Europe in 1950 when he travelled to Cuba to observe and study the culture’s style of
the dance. This is the time that the name was shortened from Cha-cha-cha to Cha-cha. This
was introduced in United States in 1954. The second version was from religious ritualistic
dances from the West Indies. The studies show that Voodoo band leaders used small rattles
created form Cha Cha plants to create a unique sound. This rattle combined with bells and
drums were used as a timer to measure when dancing and singing.

Waltz is one of the most popular Modern Standard dances that travels around the line of the
dance characterized by its “rise and fall” and “ body sway” action played in triple time signature.
The rise and fall indicates the elevating and lowering that a dancer feels as he/she moves onto
the toes, then relaxes through the knee and ankle, ending on a flat foot that gives couples an
up-and-down appearance as they glide effortlessly around the floor while the body sway gives
couples a pendulum-like look, swinging and swaying their upper bodies in the direction they are
moving.
Waltz is known as waltzer from the Latin volvere, meaning rotate. It was born as an Austro-
Gernam folk dance known as the landler, which characterized by the rotating movements of
partners dancing together. The music of Johann Strauss, an Austrian composer lived in Vienna
helped to popularize the Waltz.
Waltz has different styles such as American waltz, International waltz and Viennese waltz. The
American waltz style uses both closed and open movements often moving toward the nearest
wall or the center of the ballroom. It allows more freedom of expression. International waltz
style is danced exclusively in the closed dance position. It is slower however this style was
heavily codified. Viennese waltz style was the earliest form of the dance that is close to the
contemporary forms. It was prominent in the mid-19 th century in Vienna, Austria but until now it
is one of the most popular dance in dance sport competition.
