Video Transcript

"CHRISTINA HAGGERTY: Hi. I'm Christina Haggerty and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm teaching Cha-cha-cha, LA style, breaking on two. We're teaching the basic step. This step that I'm going to show you now is the right turn. So again, we're using the one to find the two. We're going one, coming into our basic, two, three, Cha-cha-cha, back break. Here comes the right turn. We use a pivot. Step forward on the left. Now, with the pivot, you lift your heels, and you stay on your toes, and you switch 90-degree directions. So again, you step, pivot, as you pivot the weight is going to come to the right, and then you use your Cha-cha-cha to complete the turn. So again, out of our basic goes one, two, three, Cha-cha-cha, back break, Cha-cha. Here's the turn. Step left, pivot. Step right. Cha-cha-cha, back step, Cha-cha-cha, that's the full right turn. Let's try slowly again, weight shift one. Here's our basic, three, Cha-cha-cha. We break back, Cha-cha-cha. Here comes the turn, step forward, pivot, step, Cha-cha-cha, finish your basic, Cha-cha-cha."
