"Hi, this is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and this is Cha-Cha. I’m going to talk about the timing and the rhythm of the Cha-Cha and how you’re going to be stepping. What we’re going to try to do is count the music like this, we’re going to count one, two, three, Cha-Cha, one, two, three, Cha-Cha, one, two, three, Cha-Cha. Which is a little different than what I did in the first part where I said, rock, step, one, two, three, rock, step, one, two, three cause I’m making superior dancers out of you and therefore I’m teaching you proper technique that’ll help you keep on the music and the music that there’s accent I count two, that’s a little bit stronger in a Cha-Cha in the Cha-Cha music.
