What Is Cha Cha Cha?

What is CHA CHA CHA?

The Cha Cha Cha is a true Latin dance, which originated in Cuba in the 1940s . The identifiable rhythm in it, is it's triple step in the middle.  Enrique Jorrin, a Cuban Violinist created the first cha cha song in 1948. He named it after the shuffling sound the dancers shoes made when they did the triple step.

You can hear the Cha Cha Cha rhythm is may pop culture songs still, as it evokes such fun.
Songs such as "Smooth" by Rob Thomas/Santana, "Lady Marmalade" from the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack, "Me Too" by Meghan Trainor, "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" from the Great Gadsby movie, and "I Like the Way You Move" by Party Allstars are all great examples.
​So, welcome to Cha Cha Cha Sweet Azucar style!
We are going back to the roots of the Cha Cha Cha, CUBA, and keeping it 'authentically street'.
In fact, our Sweet Az Company Director Liz Parsons was in Cuba in 2016, soaking up the atmosphere, dancing in the streets to live bands and paying great attention to the personality of this flirtacious, gorgeous dance style.
And now with the help of her USA mentor Serena Cuevas, and Mexican Pro dancer Carlos Noriega, we're bringing you Street Cha Cha Cha that can be used socially ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!!

In 8 weeks, you'll have the fundamentals and some groove, to hit the floors with. As always, our promise to you is safe, accurate, great technique, and a bucket load of FUN!

We currently aren't holding regular classes, but you can contact us for private lessons or info on a Cha Cha Cha Pop-Up Class!
