- Left hand circles overhead = sprinkler
- Left hand steps back = open break
Ask in class
- Cross body and switch hands: are the hands right? (Jonathan not sure)
- Is the cha-cha step 7 every time? (Jonathan says yes)
- Step times checked against the video and the teacher's spoken counts (2026-10-31, before any hand tap): the video opens mid-phrase, so step 1 starts on the first beat (0.02s) and the teacher's first full 1 (3.1s, 'then I'll go to the right') starts step 2. Step 7 stays on the 1 at 20.9s (he says 1 at 20.8s) and runs two eight-counts to 27.8s. Step 8 starts on the 1 at 27.8s (he spins out and they rejoin about 29.5 to 31s), step 9 on the 1 at 31.3s (her arm goes up at 32.5s, hands over heads 33 to 35s). Step 7's photo at 39s looks like a later pass of the cha-cha, not its start: is that right?
