One thing is also for sure when it comes to these two: no easy dance performances are good enough for this talented duo! They were up for the challenge of a more particular routine. During their performance at the Atlanta Open, they decided to challenge themselves with a complicated dance routine known as the Cha Cha or the Cha-cha-chá.
Enrique Jorrin, a Cuban violinist who also happens to be a composer, introduced the dance to the public over 60 years ago. In the 1950s, the Cha Cha was named for the sound that the shuffling feet of dancers create while performing it. Although the Cha Cha is popular, it can be quite complicated to perform, according to Ballroom Dance Academy.
It is often used in ballroom dance competitions, and it is always a crowd-pleaser because of how upbeat it is as well as the skill it takes to pull it off. One must be a talented dancer with lots of precision and coordination to pull off the moves of the Cha Cha!
Although there are various styles of Cha Cha in today’s society, audiences and dancers still love all versions for how entertaining and commanding it can be to perform.
When Daniela and Yasha walked onto the dance floor to perform, the crowd was excited to see what was in store. Everyone was shocked to see such tiny dancers taking on the competition of adults who have been practicing for decades! Everyone knew that something amazing was bound to happen.
Sure enough, the tiny duo impressed everyone with their skilled routine! Dancing together in perfect harmony, the tiny dancers moved around with the style and flair that only the most talented dancers are able to pull off! The two move in such perfect unison you’d be astounded at their age!
It seems like the duo have been practicing together for years! It’s obvious that these two tots have been gifted with the skill of dancing like pros from birth! You can watch their Cha Cha performance to witness the magic below!
