Best Answer

A triple step takes two beats of music, but there are three weight changes. In swing,the first beat is divided into 3/4 of a beat for the first of the three steps and then a 1/4 beat for the second weight change. The second beat gets the third weight change. So, the triple step should be counted 3/4, 1/4, whole. When a beat is divide into two parts with two weight changes, this is called syncopation. The syncopation is on the first beat and the second beat does not get divided into two parts, so the second beat is not syncopated.

The music for both swing and cha cha are written in 4/4 time, which means there are 4 beats per measure.

In cha cha , the fourth beat gets syncopated and there are two weight changes, but that fourth beat is divided into to equal parts. Since they are equal, there are two half beats.

When cha cha is counted, whole beat on one, whole beat on two, whole beat on three , then 1/2 beat and another half beat on the fourth beat. It is commonly counted 1234&.
