Hey Friends,
One of the instructors I know is actually teaching dancing cha cha on 1. The instructor is very graceful and has good body movement but I always thought that dancing cha-cha on 1 was not possible. If you dance on 1 then on beat 3 both your foot are together and on 4 and 4.5 you shuffle your feet and on 5 you take a step back making the dance feel uneven. In between 3&4 a whole beat you shuffle your foot and then between 4.5 & 5 you take a full step back which feels awkward. Dancing cha-cha on 2 feels a lot more even since you shuffle your foot on the half beats. Was wondering if anyone does really dance cha-cha on 1.
