CHA-CHA BREAK: SIDE, BACK, FORWARD |
1-3 | | Left foot step to left side, rock back on Right, replace weight to Left (forward onto Left) |
|
CHA-CHA SWIVELS: RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT |
4-5 | | Right step to right with toes pointing diagonally to right, Left step to left with toes pointing diagonally to left |
6-7 | | Right step to right with toes pointing diagonally to right, Left step to left with toes pointing diagonally to left |
| | Upper body stays facing mostly forward during these swivels. |
| | When doing each step, bring the free foot next to the weighted foot so that both feet are pointing |
| | forward before stepping down to get an exaggerated swivel action. |
| | It should be just like swivels in couples cha-cha where the couple is holding hands facing each other. |
| | Also, like a "skaters" movement in other line dances. |
|

|
REPEAT |
|
If done to "I Just Want to Dance with You", the dance will end on the first mambo step pattern. |
Also, this dance "breaks" on count 2 (or count 6). It's timing is based on "freestyle" Cha-cha. |
