Cha-cha-cha (dance)

The cha-cha-chá, or simply cha-cha, is a dance of Cuban origin.^[1][2] It is danced to the music of the same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in the early 1950s. This rhythm was developed from the danzón-mambo. The name of the dance is an onomatopoeia derived from the shuffling sound of the dancers' feet.^[3]
