I am looking for as many well known chachas as I can find, they need to be as mainstream as possible, preferrably with a good beat and breaks to play with for I have to do a chacha routine without partner for a contest, please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well as any steps or stunts i could pull off on my own no partner allowed thank you all for your help

I like "In these shoes" by Bette Midler...it's got great room for interpretation of lyrics. Other great cha chas with a heavy bass are best found on "remix" type CDs. Tons of remixes are chas. Great songs like RESPECT, Good times, and other retro favs are always included on these CDs.

Good cha cha for you without a partner...that's a lot more difficult. You're going to have to mix it with hip hop and freestyle...I can't really describe that over the interent! We have choregraphed some of this type of individual cha cha for drill teams in our area...so it can be done and done well though!!

Good luck. M

These are good ones:

Dance Away - Roxy Music
How Bizzare - OMC
Corazon Espinado - Santana
Crusing For Bruising - Basia

"Dancing is a contact sport; football is a hitting sport" - Vince Lombardi

Purchased the latest CD by Santana earlier today...

Track 3 - "The Game of Love" is a good one for Cha-Cha.

"Dancing is a contact sport; football is a hitting sport" - Vince Lombardi

So how did it go? Or has it happened yet? I thought about you yesterday when I suddenly remembered that "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" is a cha cha. That would have been a good one!
