Cha Cha
Cha-Cha is the newcomer of the Latin American dances. This dance was first seen in the dance-halls of America, in the early fifties, following closely Mambo, from which it was developed. Shortly after the Mambo was introduced, another rhythm started to gain popularity, a rhythm that was ultimately to become the most commonly known of the Latin American dances throughout the world. It was named Cha-Cha. The music is slower than Mambo and the rhythm is less complicated. The interpretation of Cha-Cha music should produce a happy, carefree, cheeky, party-time-like atmosphere.
