Another one that tells you what to do while you do it.

How to do the Cha Cha Slide Dance by DJ Casper (RIP!)

We did not make this video — we found the clearest one and linked it. There is no single official version of most line dances, so we are filming the version taught on West Michigan floors with local instructors. Teach it here?

Why this one is in the library

The song calls the steps. One of the 'big three' wedding line dances.

The cheat sheet

What you are walking into

The song calls every single step out loud. Impossible to be lost for more than two seconds.

What catches people out

Use DJ Casper's original. Remixes change the caller timing and the floor falls apart.

How to get through it

Do exactly what the voice says. That is not a simplification, that is the dance.

These are ours, written for someone who has not danced it yet — not a step sheet. For exact counts, see the choreographer's sheet linked above, or come to a night and let someone teach you.

Go dance this week

We do not claim to know which night plays which song. What we do know is where country dancing happens — here are three of the region's nights, and the calendar has the rest.
