Our Next Dance will be on Saturday, August 8th and will Feature the Cha Cha Taught by Jeff Beegle
If the rumba is romance, then the cha cha is flirtation! Bright, playful, and full of personality, this vibrant Latin dance is impossible to resist. Originating in Cuba and evolving from the slower mambo, the cha cha burst onto the U.S. dance scene in the 1950s and has been delighting dancers ever since.
Named for its signature triple step — cha cha cha — this dance is known for its lively rhythm, sharp movements, and unmistakable Cuban hip action. Danced to upbeat music in 4/4 time, the cha cha invites dancers to bring a little attitude and a lot of fun to the floor.
While its quick footwork and precise timing can be challenging to master, the reward is a dance filled with energy, confidence, and playful connection. The cha cha doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should you!
Come learn the cha cha and discover why this cheeky, lighthearted dance has been winning hearts for decades!
There's no one better to teach the energetic cha cha than Jeff Beegle! Jeff reluctantly started amateur ballroom dancing in 1996 at the insistence of his wife, Jeanne. Surprisingly, he found that he liked it and could be pretty good at it. Multiple private and group classes each week plus eight hours of dance parties a week and within a couple of years, Jeff was teaching part-time. Year after year of competitions and showcases made his experience extensive. In 2003, Jeff and his wife bought Classic Ballroom in Hackettstown, New Jersey and for 10 years operated a successful studio. Then in 2012, they sold the studio and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina where he taught at A Step to Gold and Southern Star Ballroom. Currently, he teaches independently in the Raleigh area.
