Miles and TT. I'm not sure you are helping here Miles. These are the ladies steps If this is the International Style of Cha Cha. the lady is standing LF behind and RF in front. Thats the Fan Position. The RF draws to the LF with a weight change and step forward LF on the beat of three, this is all part of the Hockey Stick. To continue the Latin cross is on 4 and 1( lock step ) Then forward LF diag to centre. RF in place on three and turn the end of. Latin Cross L. R . L. 4 a 1. ready for one backward walk which is the first of a back basic.. Instruction needed there.
Mens steps are all Basics. With the lady in Fan the man does a Checked Forward Walk. Weight Transfer in place. Compact Cha Cha Cha Chasse LRL. Backward Walk on beat 2 (which is step 6). Weight transfer in place. Cha Cha Cha lock R L R. Ten steps for the man. Ten steps for the lady. You are both ready to start a front basic for the man and a back basic for the lady. As I said instruction is needed. All of the above can be found in a technique book. Walter Laird's book is easy to understand. It is the official IDTA Technique of Latin Dances. Good Luck. It sounds hard but it is not difficult at all.
