Three Quarter Cha Cha
Description: 4-Wall Line Dance, 40 Counts, Upper Beginner Level
Choreographer: Bill Bader
Music: Any „cha-cha“ song with a tempo from 90-112 bpm and with consistent phrases of 8.
Signature Song „Shine, Shine, Shine“ by Eddy Raven (106 bpm)
Slow: „Listen To Your Woman“ by Steve Kolander ( 92 bpm)
Choreographer’s Note: No, this is not done in 3/4 time! It is named „Three Quarter Cha Cha“ because throughout
the dance there are combinations of THREE moves or sequences with QUARTER turns. The first three quarter“
combination, from Beats 1-24, has THREE basic forward and back cha-chas gradually turning a QUARTER to the right.
The second „three quarter“ combination, from Beats 25-26, has THREE separate QUARTER turns. The third „three
quarter“ combination is a THREE-QUARTER turn on the last triple.
