CONRADO CHA CHA
CHOREOGRAPHER: Rob "I" Ingenthron, Sunnyvale, CA, 7/2/98
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Easy Intermediate
MUSIC: I Just Want To Dance With You by George Strait-114bpm
(phrased for this song, but works with any evenly phrased Cha Cha)
Un Momenta Alla by Rick Trevino-96bpm (practice)
CHA CHA BREAK - SIDE BACK FORWARD
1 Left foot step to left side
2 Rock back on Right
3 Replace weight to Left (forward onto Left)
CHA CHA SWIVELS - RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT
4 Right step to right with toes pointing 45° to right
5 Left step to left with toes pointing 45° to left
6 Right step to right with toes pointing 45° to right
7 Left step to left with toes pointing 45° to left
(Note: Upper body stays facing mostly forward during these swivels.)
When doing each step, bring the free foot next to the weighted foot
so that both feet are pointing forward before stepping down to get
an exaggerated swivel action. It should be just like swivels in
couples Cha Cha where the couple is holding hands facing each other.
Also, like a "skaters" movement in other line dances. Groove to the music!)
CHA CHA, PIVOT - CHA CHA CHA STEP PIVOT
8 Right step side to right
& Left step next to Right (close)
9 Right step 1/4 turn to right
(optional: full right turn to right on counts 8&,
then 1/4 turn onto Right on count 9 - this fits
the lyrics "...twirl you all around the floor..." in
the George Strait song)
10 Left step forward
11 Pivot 1/2 turn to right onto Right foot

MAMBO STEPS - ROCK STEP TOGETHER ROCK STEP TOGETHER

31 Right step forward
& Left step forward (locking behind Right)
32 Right step forward
(Note: stay on the balls of the feet,
and try swiveling the hips a little for extra
"latin-eske" styling - this is a move that is
intended to emulate Yvonne Gutsch doing Cha Cha)
BEGIN AGAIN!!!
Notes: If done to "I Just Want to Dance with You",
the dance will end on the first mambo step pattern.
Also, this dance "breaks" on count 2 (or count 6) -
it's timing is based on "freestyle" Cha Cha.
