Cha-cha is the name of a Latin American dance of Cuban origin. It is danced to the music of the same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in 1953. This rhythm was developed from the danzon by a syncopation of the fourth beat. The name is onomatopoeic, derived from the rhythm of the guiro (scraper) and the shuffling of the dancers' feet. The modern style of dancing the cha-cha-cha comes from studies made by dance teacher Monsieur Pierre (Pierre Zurcher-Margolle), who partnered Doris Lavelle. Pierre, then from London, visited Cuba in 1952 to find out how and what Cubans were dancing at the time. He noted that this new dance had a split fourth beat, and to dance it one started on the second beat, not the first. He brought this dance idea to England and eventually created what is known now as ballroom cha-cha-cha. The validity of his analysis is well established for that time, and some forms of evidence exist today. First, there is in existence film of Orquesta Jorrin playing to a cha-cha-cha dance contest in Cuba; second, the rhythm of the Benny More classic Santa Isabel de las Lajas written and recorded at about the same time is quite clearly syncopated on the fourth beat. Also, note that the slower bolero-son ("rumba") was always danced on the second beat. Cha-cha-cha is one of the five dances of the "Latin American" program of international ballroom competitions. As described above, the basis of the modern dance was laid down in the 1950s by Pierre & Lavelle and developed in the 1960s by Walter Laird and other top competitors of the time. The basic steps taught to learners today are based on these accounts. In general, steps are kept compact and the dance is danced generally without any rise and fall. The modern ballroom technique of Cha-cha-cha (and other ballroom dances) does undergo gradual evolution, particularly in competition dancing, but in essence is still firmly based on its Cuban origin in the 1950s. 

Samba is a lively, rhythmical dance of Brazilian origin in 2/4 time danced under the Samba music. However, there are three steps to every bar, making the Samba feel like a 3/4 timed dance. Its origins include the Maxixe.

The Samba music rhythm has been danced in Brazil since its inception in the late 19th century. There is actually a set of dances, rather than a single dance, that define the Samba dancing scene in Brazil; thus, no one dance can be claimed with certainty as the "original" Samba style.

Another major stream of the Samba dance besides the Brazilian Samba dancing styles is Ballroom Samba which differs significantly.

Jive

So you might well ask, is doing the Jive difficult? And the answer is absolutely NOT! Jive is a form of dance that anyone who can WALK can learn to do - even if you have two left feet! It has been evolving and increasing in popularity and can be danced at a fast, medium or slow beat, so you can dance it to almost any music you enjoy.

It's a partner dance with a lead and follow style with no complicated footwork so you can pick up a few basic moves in a short time and use it wherever you may go socially. By the end of your first class, you will discover you've just had a lot of fun, met some very friendly people, and feel quite invigorated.

You do not need to bring a partner! The instructors encourage everyone to rotate partners as the moves are being taught so you soon get to know the other dancers who will be happy to help you along the way.

Wear whatever clothes you feel comfortable in but you may get quite hot so a cool short sleeved top is recommended. Dance shoes are not essential but if you have good fitting shoes with a smooth sole, it will help you to turn and spin on the dance floor. On the other hand running shoes, hiking boots, wellingtons, boat shoes, deck shoes, sandals and flip-flops are not recommended!
