Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and this is the Cha-Cha basic for the men and it’s a side basic. We have two basics one goes side to side, one goes front to back. This is the one that we’re going to be holding on to your dance partner in close dance position. So the men need to start with the preparation step so we can be rocking on the count of two. So guys are going to step side and you rock back, rock, step, Cha-Cha, side, two, three, Cha-Cha, side, rock, step, slide together, side, two, three. Now in order to rotate this I’m going to turn a little bit, we’re rocking back, turn a little, Cha-Cha, side, two, three, turn a little and you rock back, Cha-Cha, one, two, three and your partner’s going to be right in front of you, you get your weight a little forward with the balls of your feet and you’re straightening and bending one leg at a time to create that hip action, Cuban motion in it.
