Sample Cha Cha Cha Routine and Footwork Taught During the 4wk Courses
Cha Cha Cha 1 - Beginners
If you have never done Cha Cha before, have done a little Cha Cha or even Ballroom Cha Cha, then this course is perfect for you. We will teach you the basics of this syncopated-step dance, which will improve your Salsa timing and most importantly help you become light on your feet.
The course will cover what we call the "core drill combo's", a series of step combinations and simple partner-work that will help to understand the rhythm and timing. What might seem difficult in the beginning will become very easy!
Prerequisite: None - no dance experience necessary!
Recommendation: We advise you do this level 1 to 2 times.
Combine this course with: Salsa, Mambo on2, Men's Styling, Ladies Styling. Bachata.
At the end of the course your instructor will advise you when you are ready to move up to the next level
Cha Cha Cha 2 - Improvers / Intermediate
Building upon the "core drill" steps and basic partner-work, we will highlight the differences between the more advanced dance movements to the Cha Cha rhythm and timing.
You will learn more challenging partner-work and footwork sequences, focusing on becoming more comfortable with keeping the timing. Elements of beautiful Cha Cha arm-styling and body movements will be encouraged. This will help develop your co-ordination and footwork speed to a high intermediate level.
Prerequisite: Mastering of Cha Cha 1 or equivalent experience. Individual evaluations available upon request.
Recommendation: We advise you do this level 7 to 9 times.
