Cha-cha-chaThe Cha-cha-cha (in Spanish chachachá) is a dance and style of music derived from the rumba and mambo. It is named for its characteristic rhythm, one-two cha-cha-cha. The English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle visited Cuba in 1952 and found a form or rumba being performed with extra steps. He taught these steps as a separate dance which came to be known as Cha-cha-cha, or, erroneously, Cha-Cha.
