快, 没有足够的时间表现细节的味道 (esp. the two turns I need to make on 2 and 3
almost kill me)。 大家是不是数一分钟有多少小节（小节 means 23cha cha cha/2341

发帖数: 2094 | 4 Thanks much Musique. I just counted, the song I have is about 31 MPM, so it
should be perfect. That means i need to work on making turns, two full turns
on 2 and 3...

发帖数: 4801 | 5 aurae, I think your routine is too fast. How are you doing the two turns?
There are two ways that you can do two turns: one way is to spin on one foot
for a double turn (like how Benji does it), or you can do the regular latin
spin turns (what they call chainee turns in the dance industry). If you are
doing the two latin spin turns, then you need to take 5 steps. How can you do
all of that just on 2 AND 3? 2 AND 3 is really just one count (you start on 2
and finish on 3), and regardless of what

发帖数: 2094 | 6 chernobyl, I think in cha cha, one measure/bar has 4 counts: 2, 3, cha cha, 1.
So 2 and 3 are two counts (not one, right?). What i need to do are, assuming
i face north:
- on 2, left foot steps out and turns 180degree to south; at the same time,
closes right foot to left foot and transfers weight to right foot; quickly
left foot steps out to get ready for the next turn.
- on 3, start from left foot, turn 360degree to south.
- on 4, left foot steps backward to cha cha steps
- on 1, right foot ste

发帖数: 2094 | 9 Oh I'd be very happy if I did the choreography myself :) It doesn't mean I
cannot, but it was from my teacher. I am practicing a two-minute chacha piece
with my teacher to showcase it at a studio event in the suburb - yeah I
switched from rumba to chacha in my privates; to recover all my dance
sensation, it is better to start from a fast dance than a slow one.
Maybe, I didn't describe the turns in the right way. Let me digest your post
and think...

发帖数: 2094 | 11 Ha! I know you are a youtube-maniac ;)
I haven't touched the dance floor for two years; I just pick this as a good
short-term goal to recover myself. It is not a very serious occasion but it is
not casual dancing. I'll see if it will be good enough to post, hehe.
Have you guys posted anything from yourselves there? Any links? (secretly i
will use that to judge if mine will be posted or not ;)
