I started taking dance lessons several months ago and the
Cha-Cha was one of the dances being taught. I didn't want to wait to learn this dance so I decided I'd get the tape beforehand to get a head start.
The video was very good in terms of teaching the basic steps and moves. Probably too much time was spent practicing each step but I also feel the same way about my dance instructor, some people in our class do need the constant repetition but I would prefer more moves being taught.
Much cheaper than dance lessons, just wish they had an intermediate and advanced tape as well to learn additional moves.
The Rumba tape was also good to learn by.

I watched this tape after taking about 4 hours of private lessons on Cha-Cha. It helped me better understand the basics of the Cha-Cha. I also have a "You Can Dance: Mambo" tape by Vicki Regan. On both tapes, her insturction is well planned and structured for a beginner. Steps are explained and demonstrated clearly. If one's intention is to learn the fundamentals and go out and dance, the tape is very helpful. However, there is not much help on styling and details of the dance. Therfore, for improving on the dance you either need to take classes or wait for the advanced version of the tape - if it ever becomes available.
