3. Six Reasons Why You Should TRY The 'Colorado Cha Cha'
- Singles: It can be taught and danced as a LINE dance (4 walls, 28 counts.
- Couples: It can also be performed as a choreographed COUPLES dance, with NO change of footwork.
- Practice: The rhythm (1 & 2, 3-4, 5 & 6, 7-8) is the same as BALLROOM Cha Cha -- so the leaders are getting doing the BALLROOM cha cha rhythm -- without having to worry about the leading.
- Ballroom: You can 'TRANSITION from Colorado Cha Cha, to ballroom Cha Cha -- and then later in the song, transition back to Colorado Cha Cha (demonstrated in the video).
- Compact: It doesn't take up much space (stationary). Therefore, you can be doing it in small area, while the rest of the floor is doing something else.
- Travel: It also gives you a good reason to visit Denver, Colorado :) -- so you can dance this where the whole dance floor is doing the dance.
