Check-It-Out Cha-Cha

Position:

Begin in Contra Position, men in one line and ladies in another (men usually face the source of music, ladies face away) with about six feet separating the two lines. Opposing dancers should be slightly offset from each other so as to allow passing right shoulder to right shoulder when both move forward. Footwork is identical for both partners. Try to maintain eye contact as much as possible during this dance. It really adds to the "Check-it-out" theme.

CHA-CHA FORWARD AND BACK

CHA-CHA FORWARD AND CHECK-IT-OUT

You should be lined up facing partner and able to "Check-It-Out"

You have "Checked-Out" your partner, you're interested, but let's be cool about this!

TURN, CHA-CHA, TURN CHA-CHA

Great Partner. Checks out OK --- but let's look at all of the angles!

WALK-AROUND AND CHA-CHA

Still looks good. Let's see if there could be an introduction!

CHA-CHA, HELLO, CHA-CHA

You will now be in your partner's original position, about 6 feet apart slightly offset

You will not always be exactly in the right position. Use the Cha-Cha-Cha steps to adjust where necessary.
