Music

You can Rumba to most music that has a 4-count beat and a medium-tempo Latin style. Cha cha music typically has about 128 bpm.

Title	Artist	Length	Tempo	Listen	Notes
Tea for Two	-	2:29	120 bpm	play midi	-
Cherry Pink	-	2:52	120 bpm	play midi	-
I like it like that	Tito Puente	-	-	-	-

For more playable midis, go to http://home.thirdage.com/Community/richie10/midi.html

Form

Use toe leads and keep steps small. This helps create the signature hip movement of Latin dances.

Steps

Basic (1–2−3&4, 1–2−3&4) ("Back-Rock Cha-cha-cha, Forward-Rock Cha-cha-cha")
- Back-Rock: Rock back onto R, leaving L toe in place; Rock Fwd, replacing weight on L
- Cha-Cha-Cha: Move sideways to R (R-L-R)
- Forward-Rock: Rock fwd onto L, leaving R toe in place; Rock back, replacing weight on R
- Cha-Cha-Cha: Move sideways to L (L-R-L)
5th Position Breaks (aka Promenade Breaks)
Crossover Breaks
Crossover Breaks ending with Underarm Turn
Crossover Breaks ending with Apart Turn
Crossover Breaks reversed

1eaa

 Refer to the drawing. The blue triangle represents the man; the pink, the woman. The point of the triangles shows the direction each person is facing. Thus, standard dance position is shown in Fig. A.

Start with normal crossover to R (Fig. B), but don't turn to L when W turns - just do your cha-chas in place; you are now both facing opposite sides of the room (Fig. C). Place your L palm against W's R palm and push against each other a little.
Both do Fwd-Rock (or maybe W rocks fwd while M rocks Back?)
Both turn on Cha-Cha-Cha. You are again facing opposite sides of the room. Place your R palm against W's L palm and push against each other a little. (Fig. C)
Both do Fwd-Rock (or maybe W rocks fwd while M rocks Back?)
Repeat as desired (Alternate between Fig. D & Fig. C)
To get out: While facing to his R, M does a cha-cha in place again (W turns, but M doesn't). You are now both facing the same side of the room doing a normal Crossover Break (Fig. B). End the move as you would normally end Crossover Breaks.

Open break
- During a cha-cha-cha to R, lower L handhold & release R hand from W's back
- Then rock Back on L instead of doing the normal Fwd-Rock
Open break to underarm turn
- Do an Open Break, then during your subsequent cha-cha-cha to the L,
- Raise L hand up and to your L to lead W into CW UAT
- Do a 5th Position Break to your L during her turn
- Return to Basic Step: Cha-cha-cha to the right, Fwd-Rock on L, etc.
Cross-body lead
- During a cha-cha-cha to L, turn R foot 90 degrees to L on the third "cha"
- Back-Rock, turning rest of your body 90 degrees CC to match your right foot;
- Cha-cha-cha in place as W passes in front of you (from your R to your L) and turns CC 180 degrees
- Fwd-Rock, turning another 90 degrees CC to face W
- Return to Basic Step
Sweatheart
Cuban
Chase
Triple Cha-chas, Fwd & back
- Get into double handhold dance position
- Do 3 sets of cha-cha-chas in a row, traveling forward toward the W:
  - On his next cha-cha-cha to the R, M pushes R hand Fwd and pulls L hand back, cha-cha-cha fwd toward W
  - Then pull R hand and push L hand toward W, cha-cha-cha fwd toward W
  - Repeat one more time fwd
- M does a Fwd-Rock as W does a Back-Rock
- Do 3 sets of cha-cha-chas, traveling backward toward your original position on the dance floor
- Return to Basic step
Change Places
(Goggin Sept-2005; This also works in Rumba, Swing, Swing Hustle, & other Latin dances, with slight variations to getting in & out.)
- Use an Open break (or any other method) to switch to single R handshake hold
- Rock step: M does a Back-Rock on his L instead of a Fwd-Rock, then pulls W toward him, helping her turn CC with the pull, and then letting go of the handshake.
- Trade places: M turns 90 degrees CW, W 90 degrees CC; pass each other moving side-to-side on the "cha-cha-cha" steps. (W is in front of M and both are facing the same side of the room; W moves sideways to her R, M to his L.) M is now standing where W was & vice versa, although you may not be facing each other yet.
- Rock step: Face each other and grasp left hands while you each do the Back-Rock step: M pulls W toward him, helping her turn CW with the pull, and hten letting go of the handshake.
- Trade places again: both turn to face the same side of room as in the first Trade places; pass each other as before, W moving to her L, M to his R, to return to original places.
- Repeat as desired
- To get out: M does a Fwd-Rock on his L foot, instead of a Back-Rock; then both cha-cha-cha & return to the Basic.
Peek-a-Boo
(Goggin Sept-2005; This also works in Rumba, Swing, Swing Hustle, & other Latin dances, with slight variations to getting in & out.)
- Open break
- Lead W into CC inside turn with L arm, but stop her turn at 180 degrees by placing your right hand on her back
  - At this point, W is standing where M was, and M is slighty to the L & Fwd of his original position, and turned 90 degrees CW from his original position.
- Lead W back under arm in the reverse, so both of you return to your original places
- Repeat as desired
- End with Outside Underarm Turn
Through the Window (these instructions not yet tested)
(Goggin Sept-2005; This also works in Rumba, Swing, Swing Hustle, & other Latin dances, with slight variations to getting in & out.)
- Similar to Peek-a-Boo, but use R handshake hold, and grab W's L hand in L handshake after the first half-turn. From then on, keep both handholds throughout the move.
- After first half-turn, R handshake is up overhead and L handshake down; couple can gaze at each other through the window under their raised R hands.
- Turn back in the reverse direction; now L handshake is up and L handshake down; couple can gaze at each other through the window under their raised L hands.
- To get out, drop the L handshake and get out the same as in Change Places
