How are you going to compare the steps in cha-cha to the steps in doing
macrame / basketry

Cha-Cha
The cha-cha-cha (also called cha-cha) , is a dance of Cuban origin. It is dance to the music of the
same name introduce by Cuba composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in the early 1950s . This
rhythm was developed from the danzon-mambo . The name of the dance is an onomatopoeua
derived from the shuffling sound of the dancers' feet when they dance two consecutive quick
steps ( correctly , on the characterize the dance .
The basic footwork pattern of cha-cha-cha ( one, two, three, cha-cha-cha, two, three) is also
found in several Alfro-Cuban dances from the Santeria religion.
The fourth beat is split into two, giving it the characteristic rhythm of 2, 3, 4 and 1. Therefore,
five steps are danced to four beats. You may have heard it counted like, “one, two, cha-cha-cha.
It typically danced during the 4 & 1 counts of the music . Cuban motion in Cha-Cha is more
staccato than rumba to reflect the music with emphasis on count 1

Macrame
Macrame is a type of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting
. Macrame isn’t hard. There are many basic knots that will help you to create
stunning pieces.
Using simple materials like cotton twine, jute, hemp, or yarn, macrame can be as
simple or complex as the crafter would like. Embellishments like glass or wooden
beads, as well as dyed threads, can also open up a range of creative possibilities.
For some projects, thick and sturdy macrame rope will be better and for some
other, using thin and soft macrame yarn. To develop your macrame knotting
techniques and to showcase your projects , recommend high quality 3mm-4mm
Single Strand Cotton Cord. The soft feel and ease ease of knotting , along side the
effortless fringing, makes for the best type of macrame cord to use .
