Cha-cha-cha

Redirected from Cha-Cha

The Cha-cha-cha (in Spanish chachach�) is a dance and style of music derived from the rumba and mambo. It is named for its characteristic rhythm, one-two cha-cha-cha.

The English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle[?] visited Cuba in 1952 and found a form or rumba being performed with extra steps. He taught these steps as a separate dance which came to be known as Cha-cha-cha, or, erroneously, Cha-Cha.
