Anna Kovalova | Cha Cha tutorial | How to dance
in cha cha cha we gonna use a little bit more rotary action the rotary of course we are
on the slow as a roomba we always go go with the pendulum and figure eight okay so that's
why we started with the roomba because that's a one of the princip which we also have in
cha cha cha but we're gonna have it only in the slow counts so what we should do during
the quick quick timing
well of course if we wanna challenge ourselves and we wanna work really hard we can try to
do every single time the figure eight but it's also not quite correctly with the rhythm
so in cha cha cha on the quick quick timing we have to use more rotary more compact action
rather than number eight and figure eight action so when we have a chassis quick quick
timing quick quick and now when i have a slow then that's when you're starting to activate
your figure eight yes so when we have a quick quick yeah just try to um keep your feet together
and rotate your hip back around your spine yeah we don't have any uh body transfer or
shift of the spine we're just rotating and we're changing our knees very very good also
try to avoid this type of action yes we just gonna rotate around our spine as well as our
standing leg when we have a rotation our hip flexor is always should be long and extended
so we don't have any corner here we're not creating the corner yes no gap so it's very
very straight and extended yes so just rotate one two one two one two yes it's just pure
rotation around your spine very very good so when we have a chassis and we step into
the side that's what's gonna happen we're activating our standing leg and we rotate
cha cha on the quick quick we have a rotation now after the second cha we're done with the
quick one a quick uh timing we now gonna dance our figure eight starting with our left hip
one end and now on the slow figure eight two three and again get prepare yourself four
for rotary action cha cha and we're gonna start our figure eight with our right hip
one and ah two three rotary cha cha-cha one and two three again rotary cha cha one two
three continued cha cha one and
one and two three very nice cha cha one very very good very good now also um as our account
one we already understand that it's slow timing yes we have to really try to show the contrast
with the quick one and the quick one well i always trying to find some image in my head
to memorize some things yes for me it's quick quick timing it's like let's say america one
it's russia it's so far away yes and when we dance cha cha it's a one family so it's
one family timing and we have to dance it not cha cha and then one but we're dancing
cha-cha we're moving to russia one yeah so we have cha-cha one cha-cha one and that's
your rotary action so if you as you can hear cha-cha i don't really have a time for figure
eight yeah it's very fast and then one i have more time so let's try to apply this timing
to your steps and to your actions yes your heaps so when we have cha-cha we're not going
to dance i'll show you well it's it's fine if you do that but you always want to challenge
yourself yeah we're not gonna dance cha cha one i don't have any contrast we're gonna
dance cha one and two three cha one and two three so it's we have to finish it as a quick
quick yes let's try and we're gonna start with our rotation cha cha and we'll end with
our rotation on our right foot that's right one more time starting with the right foot
and
and now gonna start one figure eight two three get ready
one two three yes it's also very important to understand that when we have something
fast time yes for example um we don't have much time to really travel and make the step
as a progress step progressive step i'm sorry so our cha-cha steps are not cha cha one we're
not really traveling during the cha cha step yeah so um what i would like to see that you're
taking a step with your shoulder length so as you can see my shoulder and my step same
line i'm not trying to make my step bigger especially with my quick quick timing yeah
and cha under your body cha now from here when you're activating your figure eight on
your uh right foot for example i'm sorry left foot and one you can take a slightly bigger
step in the way and then again in place two three and cha under yes cha rotation and one
you will have more time to show count one yes so try to not really uh travel during
the chassis in cha cha cha yes so it's clear that we have in rumba we always creating our
pendulum number eight figure action right in chat we have a little bit different slightly
different heap action because we have quick quick timing so we have a more rotary action
