International Latin Silver & Gold Cha Cha Syllabus is an in-depth advanced syllabus training program presented by renowned Latin dance educator Corky Ballas, assisted by Kristina Pchenitchnykh. Covering both Silver and Gold International Latin Cha Cha, this approximately 134-minute program provides a structured progression beyond the Bronze fundamentals into more sophisticated figures, transitions, foot changes and partnering concepts.
The Silver section develops essential advanced Cha Cha vocabulary through figures such as the Open Hip Twist, Reverse Top, Spiral, Curl, Rope Spin, Aida, Cross Basic, Cuban Breaks and Chase. Each figure is presented systematically and followed by a demonstration sequence, helping dancers understand how individual syllabus elements connect in practical dancing.
The Gold section introduces more demanding material, beginning with Methods of Changing Feet and progressing through the Advanced Hip Twist, Hip Twist Spiral, Turkish Towel, The Sweetheart and Follow My Leader. A complete demonstration of the Gold figures and a final dance demonstration provide valuable examples of timing, continuity, partnering and musical application.
With more than two hours of focused instruction, this program is an excellent reference for Silver and Gold students, dance teachers, medal-test candidates, competitive dancers and instructors seeking a comprehensive guide to advanced International Latin Cha Cha syllabus material.
