Cha Cha Slide

DJ Casper created this song for the American health club chain Bally's Fitness, who developed a workout routine around it. The song caught on with gym members, which led to its release as a single. In 2001, the song gained traction in America at dance clubs, weddings and other celebrations.

The Cha Cha Slide is a pretty easy dance, especially since DJ Casper is calling out the instructions ("To the right now..."). The dance is based on the Cha Cha step, with the "slide" adding a group element similar to the "Electric Slide" (from "Electric Boogie") and its many variants.

DJ Casper recorded a new version in 2007 called "Cha Cha Slide (Part 2)," which cleared up some unresolved issues from the original.
