Obviously, if you were living in the days of Perez Prado and La Sonora Matancera featuring Ceila Cruz, dancing the fast mambo - which is called "rumba" in Cuba, for 8 to 15 straight songs - can get your legs and feet so tired that you cannot dance anymore and sit out for the rest of your social mambo dance night at a Cuban club. That is why there was the need to slow down those fast "rumba-packed" mambos to something that people can dance to without being tired. With that, thanks to the "guajira" and "guaracha" folk dances from Cuba, these dances were incorporated as mambos in nearly half-time, and the shuffle step - the "cha cha cha", was added to make it just a little bit more exciting. This "triple step" was known as the "triple mambo," as you said it, and with observer Guy Barry, an American, seeing all of this action while in Cuba for a short time, went to the United States and spread the word there about the cha-cha, and with the help of Fred Astaire, made American rhythm cha-cha make a birth - and at nearly the same time, Monsieur Pierre from Europe saw the same things in Cuba and went back to Europe and codified the steps that was called International cha-cha. Pierre was that dancer who also made up the dance called the "square rumba."
All your videos are so good because it is easy to follow and understand and most of all, it is very entertaining. It really helped me alot. I'm so glad i found this beautiful Channel.
Very helpful for first half--you made it no-fault, fun and simple. Later, tho, we needed a warning that the step was about to begin, AND on which foot/leg so we could practice along--we needed several reps to get into it! BUT you're upbeat and dissection of the moves is good. Eventually I got tired from missing steps.
Rand H thank you for the awesome feedback!! The way you explained what you needed is really clear and helpful for us to understand how to make our video lessons even better for you. 😊🙌🏼 Any other suggestions? PS: consider using the slow down feature on the TH-cam player (click the gear icon and you can choose the speed) when u wanna take another crack at this. Happy dancing!
Thanks for video. My wife and I had to crash course cha cha by the weekend for a Christmas party dance. We learned the moves by dance time thx to you both.
Hello Jari R! That's awesome! Way to rock it. Did u bust out all 10 steps and then some? 😉 Glad that was helpful and we hope you'll keep dancing. Check out our other crash courses if u haven't already. 👍🏼
Haven’t danced for some time and find these tutorials absolutely wonderful, you guys are amazing, your look, style and teaching presentation is second to none x
Hi Titus & LiWen, mike Durrigan (Sunnyvale) from allegro (titus from long ago) and we all met at Dance Blvd several months ago long before this crisis. Anyway the Cha cha video is absolutely great! Maybe the best introduction to basic cha cha I have seen and been on the floor for many years! I paid a price for dancing Standard and American - my Latin was put on the back burner so to speak : ( Never too late to improve and have fun …. glad to see both of you trying to stay connected to people. Be safe and healthy and hope to see you on the Dance Blvd floor when this crisis is over. Will look to view your other videos and will check out the hips video - we standard dancers can benefit from loosening our hips! best --- mike
You are so great. What a fantastic teachers. I am so glad you have time to truly teach,. Repetition is the key to teach. And learn , thank you. You are apréciated. Thank you
Omg, I am so happy I found your channel!! My husband and I just started ballroom dancing and your tutorials are the best! So entertaining and educational! Easy to follow! I LOVE them!!
@CAMMERA JEAN PIERRE Je vous remercie! Nous sommes heureux que vous appréciiez ces vidéos de danse sur notre chaîne. Depuis combien de temps danses-tu?
@@DanceInsanity nous avons fait nos premiers pas de danse en 1995. nous avons donc appris les 5 danses latines et les 5 standards et par la suite nous avons fait un peu de salsa de lindy hop. Vos vidéos nous permettent de réviser les bases que nous mettons, avec le temps, de côté. Je n'ai pas vu de vidéo sur le tango débutant. Est ce bien le cas ? Encore merci à vous.
After not dancing for three years due to health, Covid, family issues I resumed dance maybe 5 months ago. These videos have helped tremendously in refreshing my lost or forgotten memory and timing. Thanks!
@@DanceInsanity Cha Cha is now my latest obsession. I feel I should do the Mambo next. But I still have a long way to go to stay on time with the Cha Cha! It's' like a tennis game where I can keep it up for a few back and forths but then I lose time, lol. I will get it and with your help. Keep up the great work!
Many dance schools must be gnashing their teeth cuz you are so good that they are being put out of business by your peerless online classes! Thanks a million!

The quality of the video is insanely good! Definitely fit for the younger audience to learn Latin dancing because it's more interesting than the usual tutorial. Well done Tytus & Li Wen.
Wirabhaya hello and thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊 we'd love to get more and more youngsters to be interested in Latin dancing! Do you dance socially/ shows/ competitions? Welcome to Dance inSanity!
@@DanceInsanity I do competitions here in Indonesia. I really hope your channel get more subscribers because the quality of your videos is so good. Maybe I will show some of your videos to a friend of mine. Wish you best of luck!
@@SuperWiera Thank you! Yes, please share with those who can benefit from our videos. :) Is Latin dancing popular in Indonesia? Good luck with your competitions. 👍🏼🏆
What an amazing find. I can't believe youtube waited to so long to recommend your channel to me!! But I'm very happy now, so I forgive them. haha. This video is so awesome on so many levels - the explanations, the editing, the humor, the dancing and your chemistry together. Fun to watch and fun to follow along. Keep up the great work and thank you!
YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING!!! I can feel the heat even when this is just a tutorial hahahuhu. You guys are so gorgeous and wonderful. This is a great help, I'm a dancer but I don't do chacha and we have a presentation coming up. Thanks a lot for this this is a great help!!! I gotta learn the sexy hip moves.
Good question. The time step that we do here, is similar to the rock back part of the basic, but in the time step, you don’t put the heel down when you step back. You also have the option of dancing the timestep with the feet together and change weight (right, Left) then chasse / cha cha cha to the right. 😊 A full Basic includes a check forward with the left foot.
I am thoroughly enjoying this channel and I keep coming back to it whenever I feel like I need a refresher course. One thing I would like to see more of, though, is the explanation of cues a leader is supposed to give to their partner (seems you skip that part for some elements). Other than that, everything is perfect! :D
@@DanceInsanity Most of the time I'll be browsing the cha cha and rumba clips. Unfortunately I don't get to dance or practice those quite that often. In any case, whenever I re-watch a clip I see a nuance or a detail I've missed, which is what has me hooked ;)
Hi Steven! great question, thanks! when it comes to technique you want to have elements you do daily, like him action, arm styling, foot power, and so on, so you can get the new habits into your body. generally these things take time and consistency, much like learning a new language or playing a musical instrument, so you have to be willing to put in the time, and also create a feedback loop (i.e. video yourself and check your progress). as far as performance goes, once you know were the feet are going, and you have technique improving, the dancing has to convey an emotion. no emotion, usually nobody will bother watching with much interest. so performance developing the habit of bringing feeling or emotion. this three level idea isn't always the way to go for everyone, but for most it works. sometimes with raw feeling you can sort of get the energy to create technique (but it usually takes a pretty extroverted confident person). anyway, hope this helps and let me know how you are progressing. Tytus

Hello @Zohreh and you're welcome! We do ballroom as well. Just more focused on the Latin dances here on our channel. What ballroom dances are you interested in?
@@DanceInsanity Yes when i have time, especially at weekends!!what about you? Do you go out for dancing and contests?Are you teachers and have your own school?
How do you know when to use this dance? What dance do you use for what song? Why use a certain dance over others? So could you let me know, thanks love your channel
@Alfie Thomas Hello there! Good question. Songs that have a 4/4 timing with 110-120 beats per minute can be danced as a cha cha. You can listen to the song playlists for different dance styles on our channel (such as this cha cha playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLsyf2ALTZkhcwJIalQV4dkPOXSfGfFDJl.html ) to get a sense of what songs can be used for which latin dances. You would choose what dance to do according to the song's tempo/ vibe/ rhythms. Sometimes, certain songs can be danced as different styles, for example, a cha cha song can at times be a west coast swing etc. Once you understand the different dance styles, their rhythms and character, then it becomes easy to recognize what dance to do. :))
i really dont know how to dance but i love watching you both i hope to learn too..my parents are too good in ballroom dancing but why i dont get those talent 😂...anyway i keep watching you guys 😍😍😍😍...
@Mikey 4LUV ahhh... wonderful dances. All of those. Salsa is great for expanding your creativity and it's super fun. Excited for you. How often are you dancing?
@@DanceInsanity I've always have a LOVE for Latin Dance! Never been taught professionally...just videos. I would love to have time to join dancing clubs! I'm in FL and they have a lot of Salsa Clubs.
Mikey 4LUV sweet Florida! I hear you guys have the best clubs!! Can certainly learn a ton from videos and self study for sure! Are you learning/ practicing with a partner or by yourself?
@@DanceInsanity My partner and I are still just working on basics and after that were going to make our own variation, We'll practice more so we can dance better and youre my inspiration! I'll try my best in performing >^
Shiro Ryuui awesome!! Way to go. Check out our chacha playlist... We show many variations for these basic steps. Any questions, welcome to ask us.. we are happy to help you! 😁 Are you preparing for competition/ show or just for fun?
@@DanceInsanity its a competition and your videos really helps us. I've been checking them out and I can say it really is helpful since we have many dancers competing we were not really paid enough attention so your videos helps us know more about our mistakes! So reallly thank you thank you so much 💗
I really learn alot from tthis and you both make learning process become happy and interesting. Thanks for this great vedio! And I also enjoy the music while the review 10 steps. Do you know the song title of the music？Thanks!
Love it!! You guys are wonderful! I would like to know the title of the music.or song you play for this video. I really would like to follow your steps. Thank you.
Hi Dance Insanity- what is the lead for the Hand to Hand? Is the follower supposed to "feel" the leader stepping back? New Yorker is easier, moving the arm forward plus the momentum of stepping in the same direction. Thanks!
@DebraP yes, follower should feel it if the leader leads it. 😉 Leader takes his connected hand with him as he rocks back. No extra "leading" needed if he keeps his arm more still. Try it out. Are u leading ?
LiWen, where did you get that skirt? I'm a beginner dancer and I have been looking all over to try and find decent ballroom practice wear. I want a simple skirt/dress without any tassels or fringe, and I just can't find anything!
yulia polyakova hello! That's from forever21. I like this particular one cos there's some shape to the bottom of the skirt and it's also stretchy!! That combo tends to be a little trickier to find. Let me know if you find something there!! 👍🏼 Are u starting social/ competitive dancing?
Yeah it's for a charity event, I really enjoy dancing, might even keep it up after the event just for a hobby. Been watching all your videos, I like how they aren't so serious, dancing should be fun.
@@DanceInsanity yeah I did the same charity event last year but as I had no partner to carry on dancing after the event I never got back into it until they asked me to take part again this year..... I'm doing the cha cha, the swing jive, a waltz and a line dance. I really need some new moves for the swing jive though, I only know like 5 basic moves.
I know some of the technique in this dance. On the "1", especially when you do side chasses or forward or back chasses, I would need to settle the hips on the "1" on the weighted part of the foot. And except for the "and" beats, the cha-cha locks are taken on a straight leg, and most other single-beat footwork actions are also taken on a straight leg. Also, the cha-cha-locks--the second step (the "and")--the legs need to be either closed up to the legs or in Latin cross position. If the "and" happens with the feet too wide apart (except in cases where you want to do a straight quarter-split 2nd position and do stationary movements), then you are not doing it right.

@Aalema Saiyed 🤗🤗🤗 you're welcome!! Glad you enjoyed it. What dance styles do u like?
Dance Insanity right now I’m focusing on Latin Hustle, Salsa and Cha Cha for my dance comp in Oct!☺️
Right on! Have a great time. Let us know how it goes. 😉
thanks much! how did comp go?
Tytus Bergstrom it’s this Sunday actually!☺️
Who's here for their P.E Class?😝
How do you know when to use this dance? What dance do you use for what song? Why use a certain dance over others? So could you let me know, thanks love your channel
@Alfie Thomas Hello there! Good question. Songs that have a 4/4 timing with 110-120 beats per minute can be danced as a cha cha. You can listen to the song playlists for different dance styles on our channel (such as this cha cha playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLsyf2ALTZkhcwJIalQV4dkPOXSfGfFDJl.html ) to get a sense of what songs can be used for which latin dances. You would choose what dance to do according to the song's tempo/ vibe/ rhythms. Sometimes, certain songs can be danced as different styles, for example, a cha cha song can at times be a west coast swing etc. Once you understand the different dance styles, their rhythms and character, then it becomes easy to recognize what dance to do. :))
Very well explained & executed
Thanks

Hi there, I really like you both tutorials...you made it FUN! I LOVE Latin Dance...😍👍😉
Mikey 4LUV yay! thanks for having fun with us!!! You have a favorite dance(s)?? 😊😊😊
@@DanceInsanity Yes, love cha cha cha, paso doble, samba, rumba, and I'm learning salsa!!!
@Mikey 4LUV ahhh... wonderful dances. All of those. Salsa is great for expanding your creativity and it's super fun. Excited for you. How often are you dancing?
@@DanceInsanity I've always have a LOVE for Latin Dance! Never been taught professionally...just videos. I would love to have time to join dancing clubs! I'm in FL and they have a lot of Salsa Clubs.
Mikey 4LUV sweet Florida! I hear you guys have the best clubs!! Can certainly learn a ton from videos and self study for sure! Are you learning/ practicing with a partner or by yourself?
I hope youre my teacher this is really fun
Shiro Ryuui thanks for having fun with us!! We're always happy to teach. What are you working on in chacha?
@@DanceInsanity My partner and I are still just working on basics and after that were going to make our own variation, We'll practice more so we can dance better and youre my inspiration! I'll try my best in performing >^
Shiro Ryuui awesome!! Way to go. Check out our chacha playlist... We show many variations for these basic steps. Any questions, welcome to ask us.. we are happy to help you! 😁 Are you preparing for competition/ show or just for fun?
@@DanceInsanity its a competition and your videos really helps us. I've been checking them out and I can say it really is helpful since we have many dancers competing we were not really paid enough attention so your videos helps us know more about our mistakes! So reallly thank you thank you so much 💗
Shiro Ryuui you are so welcome! Best of luck. How many dances are you preparing?
I really learn alot from tthis and you both make learning process become happy and interesting. Thanks for this great vedio!
And I also enjoy the music while the review 10 steps. Do you know the song title of the music？Thanks!
glad you like it, thanks you! song is called "Cha Cappella"
awesome
BAM!
Love it!! You guys are wonderful! I would like to know the title of the music.or song you play for this video. I really would like to follow your steps. Thank you.
Cecile Tatum thank u! The song is Cha Capella. Enjoy! How often are you dancing?
glad you like it, thanks! Tytus
@@DanceInsanity i do line dancing everyday. Dancing is my exercise. I don't go to the gym. Thank you so much.
Hi Dance Insanity- what is the lead for the Hand to Hand? Is the follower supposed to "feel" the leader stepping back? New Yorker is easier, moving the arm forward plus the momentum of stepping in the same direction. Thanks!
@DebraP yes, follower should feel it if the leader leads it. 😉 Leader takes his connected hand with him as he rocks back. No extra "leading" needed if he keeps his arm more still. Try it out. Are u leading ?
whats the title of that beat/song? or could you recommend a song for cha cha dance?
Excelente tutorial felicitaciones !!!!
step 1 and 2 : 1:40 3:17
step 3 and 4 : 4:27 5:53
step 5 and 6 : 7:25 10:05
19:13
I don't get what's the difference between New Yorker and Hand to Hand please heeellpp. Thank you! Very helpful by the way!
@Syntax hello! In New Yorker, you rock/ step forward. In hand to hand, you rock/ step back. 😊
Dance Insanity ohh okaaayy I get it now thank youuu
@Syntax Cool! you're welcome. Are you having fun learning the Cha Cha? What's easy and what's challenging?
LiWen, where did you get that skirt? I'm a beginner dancer and I have been looking all over to try and find decent ballroom practice wear. I want a simple skirt/dress without any tassels or fringe, and I just can't find anything!
yulia polyakova hello! That's from forever21. I like this particular one cos there's some shape to the bottom of the skirt and it's also stretchy!! That combo tends to be a little trickier to find. Let me know if you find something there!! 👍🏼 Are u starting social/ competitive dancing?
Dance Insanity thank you so much for you response! I will definitely check them out today and let you know! Hopefully I can find something similar:)
Yulia - Good luck!
Thanks for making this video 👏👏👏👏👍
✌️🙂🙂 cha cha cha!
Awesome tutorial
@Pst Arnold glad you are enjoying it. 😊 What dance styles are you dancing?
@@DanceInsanity doing chacha started yesterday,....

You guys are way tooooo entertaining! Best couple for ballroom class ever! Love those sexy hips movements!!!
You guys are sooooo funny I love it.
@Neil Whelan 🙌🏼 totally sooooo right about that. 😉
aaaaaawesoooome!
Thank you ! very clear.
You're welcome! 😊
glad u like it!
Haha loved this video, absolutely hilarious, really helped with my training too. Thanks guys.
PES_ JR hey there and welcome! What are you training for? Competition? 😊
glad you liked it!
Yeah it's for a charity event, I really enjoy dancing, might even keep it up after the event just for a hobby. Been watching all your videos, I like how they aren't so serious, dancing should be fun.
PES_ JR nice! You're right - dancing should be fun. 🙌🏼 Did u just start dancing because of this charity event? What dance(s) are you performing?
@@DanceInsanity yeah I did the same charity event last year but as I had no partner to carry on dancing after the event I never got back into it until they asked me to take part again this year..... I'm doing the cha cha, the swing jive, a waltz and a line dance. I really need some new moves for the swing jive though, I only know like 5 basic moves.
Thank you so much for helping me learn this. :) It really helped
@Nanny May get it! 🙌🏼 are u prepping for something?
since you ask, I really like the natural top. are you guys gonna show that?
Dance Fan. oops, I mean Alemana- nice! Good idea. Will add to our list. What about reverse top?
that would be great too! I don't want to be too pushy, but can you do natural first?
You got it. :) what do you like about the natural top??
its an easy way to rotate the routine quickly
Good point! Very astute of ya. :)
I know some of the technique in this dance. On the "1", especially when you do side chasses or forward or back chasses, I would need to settle the hips on the "1" on the weighted part of the foot. And except for the "and" beats, the cha-cha locks are taken on a straight leg, and most other single-beat footwork actions are also taken on a straight leg. Also, the cha-cha-locks--the second step (the "and")--the legs need to be either closed up to the legs or in Latin cross position. If the "and" happens with the feet too wide apart (except in cases where you want to do a straight quarter-split 2nd position and do stationary movements), then you are not doing it right.
Your coaching-videos are superior to ALL others I have watched..THANK YOU SO MUCH..Minnesota Dancer
Fantastic
@Saitama Utako Thanks! :))
