Latin Sequence

Cha Chas

Cha Chas have a lively, party atmosphere and can be danced to all modern 4/4 music.  Although the script was arranged for the break to be taken on the 2nd beat, most sequence dancers dance on the 1st beat as it is easier to hear!

Rumbas

Rumbas are from the same origin as Cha Cha, but omit the chasse, instead opting for a slower transition.  All walks should be heavy, taken onto a straightened leg.  Again dancers tend to dance on the 1st beat, even though the script was arranged for the 2nd!

Jives

there are a few jives that have proved popular even the rhythm is so fast!!  Thankfully many MCs put a relatively slow tempo on!!

Bossa Novas

are danced at 40bpm the same as mambo, so they have a lively energetic feel.  Common figures include the ‘square’ and the twisting walks!
