This is something ive been thinking about for a while. I love cha cha, ive loved cha cha for years, i love to teach cha cha, but i didnt always love it, in fact, i used to hate it. Just couldnt see the point. But at some point, i dont know when, i tried it out properly, and i started to love it. I love everything about it, the music, the connection, the flow, the extra funky footwork, the time to expeiment, how its so much easier to listen to and interpret the music, because its slower and tends to be quite a lot more accented.

But its not just me, it seems quite a lot of people start off hating cha cha, and then it grows on them. others start off hating it and never try it properly, and continue to hate it. Ive spoken to a few people recently, people who have tried it out properly seem to really love it too. But most people say something like "ah no, i dont like cha cha" or "i hate cha cha" or "id rather stick my genitals in a bees nest than dance cha cha with you tom" you get the point...

Im wondering, what are peoples opinions about this beautiful dance? Am i just paranoid? or do people just seem to dislike it?

If you do hate it, why not try it out? take a class. there should be a few classes at salsa school. if you still hate it, try another teacher

love it!!
