It was so easy and so much fun, it became the                     rage of the early 1950&#8217;s. Its infectious one-two, one-two-three, rhythm demands                     that sitters become dancers. Everybody can learn the Cha Cha.<\/p>\n<p>Cha Cha music is written in 4\/4 time and may be played over a wide range of tempos.                     Often in Cha Cha music, a rhythmical link can be heard between each measure resulting                     in an overall rhythm of 1, 2, 3, 4 and repeated over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Triple steps (Chasse) and rock steps are the basic components of the Cha Cha.\u00a0 Since                     the Cha Cha is derived from the Rumba and Mambo, Cuban Motion is an important aspect                     of this dance.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Cha Cha songs and artists                         include:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"> <span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shallwedanceusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Carlos-Santana-Oye-Como-Va.mp3\">&#8220;Oye Como Va&#8221; &#8211; Tito Puente &amp; Carlos Santana<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shallwedanceusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Perez-Prado-Cherry-Pink-And-Apple-Blossom-White.mp3\">&#8220;Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White&#8221; &#8211; Perez &#8220;Prez&#8221; Prado and His Orchestra<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shallwedanceusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Santana-Black-Magic-Woman.mp3\">&#8220;Black Magic Woman&#8221; &#8211; Santana<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shallwedanceusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/David-Sanborn-Bang-Bang.mp3\">&#8220;Bang Bang&#8221; &#8211; David Sanborn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shallwedanceusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Duffy-Mercy.mp3\">&#8220;Mercy&#8221; &#8211; Duffy<\/a><\/li>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular Latin dances in the U.S., the Cha Cha began as a variation of the Mambo called, Triple Mambo.
