Cha Cha Cha
"Cha Cha Cha", Stainless Steel, 0.025"H x 1.8'W x 3.3'D, $10,000

Cha Cha Cha by Robin Murez is embedded on the ground for our feet to explore: Welcome to an instructional map of dance steps!

Cha Cha Cha pays tribute to the cultural venues of Downtown Napa, such as The Napa Valley Opera House and Uptown Theater, as well as and the elegant, active character of Napa's vineyards, boutiques and galleries.

To start, stand on the footsteps marked "START HERE." See where the map directs your feet, following the numbers: ONE, TWO, three-four-five. SIX, SEVEN, eight-nine-ten [Read in rhythm of the cha-cha-cha].

You create the "kinetic motion" as you move to the rhythm, alone or with a partner. Enjoy the challenge. Sing the tune.

Remember the first time you danced the Cha Cha Cha. Close your eyes. Laugh with friends. You can be Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers. Let yourself dance on the banks of the Napa River!
