We would like to take you on a historical journey about the dance styles, their original and popularity. For May we are headed to the Kentucky Derby so start looking for a great hat.
Cha Cha originated in Cuba and evolved from a slow version of Mambo called “Triple Mambo” or Mambo with guiro rhythm. This musical rhythm inspired dancers to dance a hip syncopation to the forward and back breaks of a mambo which late evolved to a triple step.
*The April Monday Night Lessons will be Cha Cha with Roger Howell to benefit the Foundations for the Arts.
