A lively Spanish or Latin American dance in triple time, similar to a minuet or the cachucha.
Spanish word of unclear origin, possibly from Native American languages of Latin America, first documented in Spanish dance collections in the 1700s. Related to the more famous 'cachucha' dance.
The cachua and cachucha are regional variations of the same festive dance tradition—linguists are still debating whether they're spelling variants or slightly different regional dances!
