We learned the cha-cha basic step, both sideways and forward-backward. We started with the LEFT foot (Leader).
Here are two songs we danced to. Play one or pick your own!
"Evil Ways", Cal Tjader and Carmen McRae. https://open.spotify.com/track/5IiEIEvcyb9XuYw3R7fwgg?si=a8cc31c1ddf14288
"Cha-cha-gua", Tito Puente. https://open.spotify.com/track/2HK8wu7MNnCP4BxWO9NOUV?si=88034c5297ee4789
Changing directions is an important way to practice responding to your environment, and practicing being able to do it with control. What else helps?
Strong feet! Keep practicing dancing in the forefoot. Let those toes engage! Let those calves work! These parts help slow you down when you lose your balance, and even when walking!
