Cha Cha: Cross-Overs and Ronde

In this high-energy Cha Cha lesson, Anthony and Rose dive into a slick combo packed with crossover breaks, syncopated rhythms, a sweeping ronde, and a spicy little split-weight turn. This isn’t your beginner-level cha cha—so if you're still learning your basics, definitely go check out their fundamentals video first. But if you’re ready to level up, you’ll love this one. The sequence starts off with some syncopated crossover breaks to change up your usual timing and add punch to your patterns. From there, you’ll learn how to lead and follow a sharp ronde with correct hip placement, and finish the sequence with a powerful split-weight rotation into a Chaines style turn. Throughout the video, you’ll get practical breakdowns of both leader and follower footwork, how to manage weight transfer (especially when split-weight is key), and how to make your movement more dynamic and intentional. This pattern hits that sweet spot of looking fancy without being unnecessarily complicated—and it’s social-dance friendly, too. As always, Anthony and Rose make it fun, fast-paced, and full of clear teaching moments you can use on the dance floor right away. Read More
