Question

What are the steps to do the cha cha?

Community Answer

Move your right foot back, then bring it back. Side skip (put your right foot to the right side, then quickly bring the left foot to it, and repeat 3 times). Bring your left foot forwards, then place it next to your right foot. Side skip on your left 3 times and repeat.

Question

Is the cha cha part of ballet?

Community Answer

This has nothing to do with ballet, except that it is danced to classical music. It is faster and doesn't require standing on toes with point shoes.

Question

During the basic II step, where does the heel come down on the beat?

Community Answer

Your heel should always come down on the second beat of the rhythm. Most songs that you can dance the cha cha to are in 4/4 time, with 4 beats per measure. You should step forward (or back) on the first beat, put your heel down on the second, and "cha cha cha" over the third and fourth.
