Notes
: I had originally choreographed this to a much faster cha-cha. but due to Denny Hengen's suggestion from "Step by Step " magazine, I tried the much slower Rick Trevino Cha-Cha and the dance became a hit! Thanks Denny! If you can't find the Rick Trevino album (his first), you can use any evenly phrased piece of music that has a cha cha feel to it. Good luck & have fun. Also notice that the dance utilizes both cha cha timings – one minute you are breaking (rocking) on the "1" beat, the next minute you are rocking on the "2" beat.
