Silver/Gold International Cha Cha
Jan 4 - Feb 29, 2012
International style is distinctive in that the hip action is achieved after stepping onto a “straight leg.” The cha-cha is a style of Latin American dancing derived from the mambo and American swing. The dancer’s feet are kept close to the floor and their hips are loose to allow free movement and weight shifting from one foot to another.
The cha-cha beat continues to be heard in popular Latin music today. Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and Carlos Santana often employ the cha-cha’s rhythm in their music.
