The rhythm of cha-cha-cha dance is basically the same as that of rumba, and it is characterized by a lively, enthusiastic and playful style because of the accompanying dance music and the light speed of the dance steps. Its footwork music four beats per bar to walk five steps: slow, slow, slow, fast, fast.
Slow step one beat one step, fast step one beat two steps, hip swing and rumba is very similar. Each step should be danced with pressure on the forefoot, the knee slightly flexed, and when the weight falls on one foot, the heel is lowered, the knee straightened, and the hips then swing to the side and back, while the other leg relaxes and flexes the knee. The swing of the hips should be obvious, but it is not necessary to emphasize it in the quick step.
The cha-cha-cha dance has an upbeat and fun tune, and the dance steps and arm movements are tightly coordinated, giving people a playful and sharp feeling. For beginners, choose some slow dance music to practice.
