Understanding Cha Cha timing/rhythm


East Coast Swing, originally known as ‘Eastern Swing’,  uses a six count basic pattern with music employing 4 beats per measure. It consists of 2 triple steps, and a rock step, typically starting on the downbeat of music. It is usually danced to faster music, but can really be done to any range from 120-155 beats per minute. If you go any higher than that, you’re heading into Jive or Jitterbug territory (also fun dances!) You can learn the east coast swing basics here!

The list below should help you navigate the best music selections for your Cha Cha dancing!
