History...
When the English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle visited Cuba in 1952, he realised that sometimes the Rumba was danced with extra beats. When he returned to Britain, he started teaching these steps as a separate dance.
The Basic Requirements of the Cha Cha
The Cha Cha and the Rumba have the same basic steps, they are just danced to a different rhythm. The Rumba is romantic whereas the Cha Cha is bright and lively.
- It should be a cheeky dance
- Individually dancing, not much touching
- Very synchronised movements, working in parallel with each other
- Lots of bum and leg action. The legs should not be outside the body frame.
