Cha-Cha Refresher with Rulon

Two -2 hr classes  ~ Wednesday July 12, & Friday, July 14, 2023 ~ 7:00-9:00pm

$25.00 an Evening ~  Register Here

~~Some dance experience required.  Beginning Cha-Cha previously would be a big plus.

The Cha-Cha is a fun and sassy, Latin dance. With roots in Cuban beats and rhythms, the Cha-Cha pattern starts on the second beat of the measure, and small quick syncopations will have you shaking it up on the floor. Though it is one of five Latin competition dances, Cha-Cha is also a popular social dance, with simple and beautifully fun lead and follow patterns.
