OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC


The dance originally came from Cuba and its forerunner is the Mambo, which is fast and
more for the specialist. This developed into the triple Mambo (hence the three counts) but a
gradually a slower, more pronounced and clearer interpretation of the rhythm was evolved,
called the Cha Cha (sometimes referred to as the cha cha cha). The Cha Cha Cha is the newest
and most popular of the Latin-American dances. It is also the easiest to learn because the music
has a definite and unmistakable beat. However, although you should be able to master the basic
patterns very quickly, you will need time to achieve attractive style in the dance.
