In this part of the module you will learn one of the most popular Latin Dances in
the world, the Cha Cha.
The Cha-cha is a fun, playful dance, a quick give-and-take and "chase" theme
between the partners. The music to the cha-cha usually follows a "slow-slow-quick-
quick-quick" kind of beat, though not always. The dance is almost always fast, and
the form is not rigid - the hips roll as the dancers move together.
Footwork:
Steps in all directions should be taken first with the ball of the foot in contact
with the floor, and then with the heel lowering when the weight is fully
transferred. When weight is released from a foot, the heel should release
first, allowing the toe to maintain contact with the floor.
Hip Movement:
Latin Hip movement is achieved through the alternate bending and
straightening action of the knees. In the International Latin style, the
weighted leg should be straight. The free leg will bend, allowing the hips to
naturally settle into the direction of the weighted leg. As a step is taken, a
free leg will straighten the instant before it receives weight. It should then
remain straight until it is completely free of weight again.
Dance Position:
When dancing Latin, stand upright with weight held forward towards the
balls of the feet. The basic Latin hold is compact, with partners standing
slightly apart. The lady's right hand and man's left hand are joined in an
upper-hand clasp at approximately the lady's eye level. The man's right hand
is placed on the lady's shoulder blade, with the lady's left arm resting easily
on his right. The resulting dance "frame" should be sturdy and well
connected.

In this part of the module you will learn one of the most popular line dances in
Youtube and Tik Tok App, performed at weddings, proms, and other gatherings,
the Cha Cha Cha Slide. Peppy and fun, the Cha Cha Slide steps are often used in
competitive partner dance. Although the exact steps can vary depending on the
performer of the music, the basics are usually the same and they can be adapted
as needed.
The line dance was choreographed by DJ Casper. The steps were written originally
as part of a workout set for a fitness chain, but have become popular in regular
partner dance circles and now they are taught regularly at clubs and dance
studios. The song typically calls out exactly what you need to be doing, which
makes it simple. What's even better is that these steps are easy and fun to learn,
so get ready to move on the dance floor as though you own it!
This dance has simple steps and is tons of fun for dancers and non-dancers alike.
The words in the lyrics of the song will help you know which steps to do at which
moment.
