History
The English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle visited Cuba in 1952 and found a form or rumba being performed with extra steps: the slow step of the basic pattern is replaced with the triple step (cha-cha-cha chasse). He taught these steps as a separate dance which came to be known as Cha-cha-cha, or, erroneously, Cha-Cha.
