A Cuban music that evolved in the 50's in Habana. The name cha cha cha is an imitation of the rhythm from dancing Cuban side steps.

Enrique Jorrin came up with the first full-fledged Cha Cha in 1951 "La Engañadora".

It's a cheeky, lively and flirtatious dance. It has a catch-me-if-you-can atmosphere, and is light and bubbly. It has a distinctive syncopation where 5 steps are danced to four beats hence the cha cha cha one, two.

Cuban Motion is an important aspect of this dance as well as maintaining quick compact steps.
