Start Over
NOTE: For a little added challenge, change the count and steps to typical cha-cha-cha rhythm. To do that, start the dance with a RF single cha step FWD or to the R side (1), and then follow all the same steps as written above. Count all the 1-2 and 5-6 beats as 2-3, and the cha-cha-cha steps as 4&1. This is the traditional way to count cha-cha-cha and is a fun way to get familiar with the 2,3,4&1 counting approach.
