Suggested Dance Style: Cha-cha Con Tejas has a rhythm of a Cha-cha. It has lots of movement in it, and style is quite important in order to look good while performing the dance, as well as being able to perform it correctly and perform it well. The slow steps should be long and pronounced and the quick steps should be made small, quick and sharp. Cha-cha Con Tejas is an isolation dance from the hips on down, any arm movements should be used only to accentuate foot and lower body movements. Proper dance styling should be adhered to at all times.
