Test Your Hips Out with the Cha Cha

istock_000014467721smallThe Latin styles of dances are a fun group of dances, particularly the Cha Cha. The Cha Cha is an energetic and sexy dance that incorporates that Cuban hip motion that so many people love. It is a very popular style of dance, sharing a lot of similarities with Salsa, which can be danced to a variety of different kinds of music. The light and quick steps that you take with the Cha Cha also gives it a fun and playful feel.

The basics of the Cha Cha include a series of small triple steps and rock steps. What sets it apart from other dances that incorporate the triple step, such as the Triple-Step Swing, is the famous Cuban hip motion. This movement involves alternating the hips up and down by bending one leg and straightening the other. It may not sound very fluid, but the finished product is something that is quite alluring and sexy.

Once you start dancing, you will find that many Latin dances have similar moves to them, just with a different basic step. This makes it nice if you are just beginning to take dance lessons, because even as you start out, you can recognize some familiar steps. It will also help encourage you to dance more as it boosts you confidence level.
