Focused workshops designed to help social dancers level up their technique, musicality, and confidence on the dance floor.

ChaCha Intensive: From Foundations to the Dance Floor

Every Salsero needs a solid ChaCha basic in their skillset!

Beginner friendly, no previous ChaCha experience required and no partner needed!

DATE

November 7th, 2026

TIME

11:30am - 2:30pm

LOCATION

Dance Nashville -

630 Rundle Ave.

This 3-hour beginner friendly intensive is designed to take you from the foundations of ChaCha to actually dancing it comfortably.

We'll spend the first hour building your footwork and rhythm, the second hour putting those skills into partnerwork, and the final hour doing what makes everything stick - dancing.

Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is perfect if:

  • You've never danced ChaCha and want a solid introduction

  • You know a little but still find yourself second guessing the timing

  • You've learned some steps before but want to understand how the dance actually feels

  • You're tired of sitting out of a dance because you're not confident in your ChaCha skills

This is a beginner-friendly intensive, so you don't need any ChaCha experience to join us.

Why this workshop is worth your time

  • Build the foundation before the patterns

  • Take your footwork into partnerwork

  • Learn by actually dancing

What to Expect:

Hour 1 - Footwork & Foundations

We'll start with ChaCha rhythm, timing, foundational footwork and weight transfer. This is where we build our base that partnerwork and groove rely on.

Hour 2 - Partnerwork
Next, we'll bring those foundations into partner dancing with approachable ChaCha patterns, connection work, and plenty of rotation. No partner needed.

Hour 3 - Jam Session
The final hour is for dancing and repetition. Practice the material, switch partners, ask questions, experiment, and get comfortable actually dancing ChaCha instead of just learning ChaCha.

What You'll Walk Away With

  • A stronger understanding of ChaCha timing & rhythm

  • Foundational footwork you can continue practicing beyond the intensive

  • Partnerwork you can actually use socially

  • More confidence hearing ChaCha music and knowing what to do when it comes on

Come ready to learn, move, practice and find your ChaCha groove.
