Cha cha cha
Cha-Cha-Cha is developed from the Mambo and a Latin dance that most people like to learn first. The name Cha Cha Cha is a sound imitation of the "shoes" from dancing Cuban women. The Cha Cha Cha was first seen in America and came to Europe almost at the same time with the Mambo the forerunner from the Cha Cha Cha. After the World War II the Mambo was pushed aside by the Cha Cha Cha which became really popular at 1956.

According to its roots the Cha Cha Cha music should be played passioned without any seriousness and with staccato allowing the dancers to project an atmosphere of 'naughtiness" to the audience. Recently it was decided to shorten the name to Cha Cha, Sorry but I don't see any reason for that.
