Individual interpretation by couples to add Cha Cha character is permitted provided that integrity of steps, free leg positions and dance positions are maintained. Retrogressions on pattern transitions are permitted. Inventors – Bernard Ford, Kelly Johnson, Laurie Palmer and Steven Belanger First Performance – Richmond Hill, Ontario, 1989
