then use moves from the Cha Cha to widen everyone's swing dancing repertoire. (You can apply this new material
to a variety of swing dances, including East-Coast Swing, West-Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, and Charleston.)

Finally, we'll use concepts from swing dancing to invent a fancy new move in the Cha Cha!
