Do the cha cha!

Cha cha - is one of the most popular latino dances. Cha cha moves are very similar to rumba moves, with one single difference - cha-cha-cha! This rhythm, so easy to remember, is obtained by division of the 4-th part of time. That why the dance has such name.

At the beginning the cha cha cha dance was a sort of rumba and mumbo, but in 1948 Enrike Horrin combined two latino dances in montuno. In this way a new, fascinating dance appeared. Horin's composition "Anganadora", what means "Delusion" was writed in 1953 and become very popular soon.

Dancers waited for the continuation of composition. A lot of performers began to play easy cha cha cha melody, and after short time almost every musician could perform cha-cha-cha.
