[00:00] Hello, dancer. Another iconic step is crossing cha-cha. Let's break it down. It's super easy.

[00:04] First of all, remember to keep your toes open, otherwise you might look like this.

[00:07] And both crossing and opening are technically tapped, so we don't shift weight. Again,

[00:11] when I cross and when I open, my weight remains on the standing leg. And then only three times,

[00:16] I shift my weight. We call it cha-cha-cha. Again, cross, open, and cha-cha-cha. You can cross behind

[00:21] or step in place. For cha-chas, keep your knees soft so that your hips get natural movement,

[00:25] okay? Both crossing and opening are technically taps. And then cha-cha-cha is three times shift

[00:30] weight. In just a few days, we will begin moving on to styling such as cross kick and even adding

[00:34] steps like patin or other footwork in our combinations. Now let's do it slow together.

[00:40] And cross, open, cha-cha-cha. And tap, tap, step, step, step. Don't shift, don't shift, shift, shift,

[00:49] shift. And cross, open, and cha-cha-cha. Very nice, guys. I will see you in the next class. Get ready,

[00:55] save this video. We will move on to combinations in a couple of days. Bye-bye.
