"Cha Cha Slide" is a 2000 song/dance track sometimes referred to as the "Casper Slide". This song is often played at dance clubs, parties, skating rinks and weddings in the United States and the United Kingdom. In 2007, McDonald's used the song in a television commercial in which a young boy dressed in old school hip hop fashion listens to the song while enjoying a meal with his family.
The Cha Cha Slide is also a dance created by Chicago's DJ Casper, (aka Mr. C). Cha Cha Slide is a line dance with a called instructions.
DJ Casper developed the Cha Cha Slide in 1996 for Bally Total Fitness; it became a hit with gym members, and the dance's popularity prompted Mr. C to record Cha-Cha Slide: The Original Slide Album in 2000. The following year, the dance caught on around Canada and the USA, where urban contemporary radio stations (and later mobile DJs), particularly in Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Arkansas, Memphis, and Detroit.
DJ Casper has made another version of the Cha Cha Slide (Part 2). By 2007 Cha Cha Slide (Part 2) was being played at urban venues and clubs in the Western United States.
MC Jig also did a version of the song[1], which reached #33 in the UK,[2] but the DJ Casper version was far more successful, reaching #1 on the same chart in 2004.[3]
