cha cha slide

Wedding reception staple

The Cha Cha Slide is a line dance performed to DJ Casper's 1999 song of the same name, which instructs dancers through each move: slide, stomp, clap, criss-cross, reverse.

The song is a staple at weddings, school dances, and parties where collective participation matters more than skill: Everyone got up for the Cha Cha Slide.
