Supplemental context
Cha Cha Slide links a recorded song with spoken cues for collective movement. Its value to a future archive includes the relationship between the recording and groups following it together. An audio object alone does not capture the atmosphere, timing or local variations of a social gathering.
Creator/community: DJ Casper; recording collaborators and social dancers Place/era: United States; late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries
Context and limits
Every party is rhetorical rather than literal. The image shows fictional adults moving together, not DJ Casper, an authentic performance or a verified sequence of the called steps. The recording and lyrics are not reproduced.
