The evolution of Cha Cha Cha Cha
- In the Latin series of International Standard Dance, the history of Cha Cha Cha Cha is the youngest, so there is no glorious and long history to write, but it can be summarized from the literature: it was evolved from the Mambo and the American Lindy Dance in the 30's; or: it appeared in the ballroom in the United States in the 50's, and it was evolved from the Mambo right after the Mambo. The Cha Cha Cha Cha and its predecessor, the Mambo, were introduced to Europe at almost the same time, and the Cha Cha Cha Cha became very popular in 1956 after the Second World War, leaving the Mambo on the sidelines. (By the way: a few years ago, the American film makers, trying to use the movie will be the mambo to re-create the popularity of the viscous bada-like dance, but failed to do so). The international cha-cha-cha is organized by the Royal Society of Teachers of Dancing (RSTD), which regulates the details and incorporates them into formal teaching.
