‘When I first did it, I did it as an aerobic exercise for my nephew at Bally’s,” Casper said. “From there, it just took off. Elroy Smith from WGCI grabbed ahold of it’
All across the world, Casper has performed the well-known line dance.
Casper expressed his desire for his “Cha Cha Slide” to live on as a constant reminder of the strength of harmony, community, and positivism.
He left a significant message for individuals who are having difficulties.
Anyone dealing with cancer should be aware that they have the disease but that it does not own them, according to Casper. So, continue performing the “Cha Cha Slide.”
