Product Description

Cha Cha Part 1 opens with character and posture, then examines ten types of chasses, including compact, side, lock, ronde, twist, slip, running and run-away forms. Basic movement is considered in closed hold, open position and without a hold. These topics give the early part of the programme a clear focus on movement options and partnership arrangement.

The figure work continues through Time Steps, Fan, Hockey Stick and New Yorker with arm styling, then into turns, Shoulder to Shoulder and Hand to Hand. Natural Top and Open Hip Twist include finish or ending options, while later topics cover Cuban Break, Split Cuban Break, Turkish Towel and Sweetheart. Three methods of changing feet complete the selection, providing a substantial set of foundations and figures to revisit together.

The chassé topic names its forms individually, making it possible to locate a compact, lock, ronde or other listed action within the same subject. Hold and position descriptions also stay with Basic Movement, while Hockey Stick retains its counter-promenade ending. Those details give the figure headings practical meaning when selecting what to revisit. Later alternatives within Natural Top and Open Hip Twist sit alongside separately named figures, before the final foot-change methods. Corky and Shirley Ballas present a broad Cha Cha Part 1 selection with both movement subjects and repertoire. The complete twenty-topic list preserves all forms, holds and endings, including subjects not repeated in this overview.
