Note: this dance is written as a social Cha Cha, 1 2 3&4 5 6 7&8 which is popular in line dance and easier for beginner dancers;
Have had fun trying out different Cha Cha tunes to this dance, for example:“Do You Want To Know A Secret” by Beatles or “Smooth” by Santana
Country song suggestions:
“Beat Of The Music”, by Brett Eldredge
“One More Drinkin’ Song” by Jerrod Niemann
“Lonely Eyes”, by Chris Young
“Follow Me”, by Uncle Cracker

Beginners tend to take large steps & aren’t always sure which foot has the weight; it helps to remind them to take “smaller steps” and “remember weight is on the—“ . It leads to less frustration as they learn it takes a bit of practice & patience, (which is why I choose this slower tune).
Fun fact: Cha Cha rhythm developed from the Danzon (Cuba) which syncopated the 4th beat to match the steps with the beat of the music.
