Cha Cha Double Spin

In 36th class, we learnt Cha Cha Double Spin steps. Hand leads resembles to steering of a truck. After doing one set of basic Cha Cha steps, we do following steps:

2: Cha Cha step 2.
3: Cha Cha step 3.
Cha: Cha step. Instead of shifting only to left, male partner shifts a bit back also, so as to give space to female partner for a turn.
Cha: Cha step. Instead of shifting only to left with his right foot, he shifts a bit back also.
1: Step 1. Instead of shifting only to left, he shifts a bit back also.

2: Cha Cha step 2. His right foot goes back and her left foot comes ahead. Both partners now stretch their hands to extreme.
3: He gives her leads to rotate by rotating his hands clockwise 180 degrees (forming a semi-circle with both hands). She rotates clockwise by 180 degrees by sliding over both her feet (no feet displacement), and both partners start facing same direction.
Cha: With both hands stretched, both starts walking forward with him walking right behind her (not side-to-side). He puts his right foot ahead a bit. She puts her left foot ahead a bit.
Cha: He brings his left foot close to right one.
1: He puts his right foot ahead (around a feet).

2: He puts his left foot forward and starts rotating her counter-clockwise by 360 degrees (now making full circles with both of his hands). His hands also make a complete 360 degrees counter-clockwise rotation (just like steering a truck). In step 2, she completes 180 degrees and rest 180 degrees in next step.
3: Putting his right foot forward, he completes 360 degrees turn. Again both partners start facing same direction.
Cha: With both hands stretched, both continue walking forward. He puts his left foot ahead a bit. She puts her right foot ahead a bit.
Cha: He brings his right foot close to left one.
1: He puts his left foot ahead (around a feet).

2: He puts his right foot forward and starts rotating her clockwise by 360 degrees (again making full clockwise circles with both of his hands).
3: Putting his left foot forward, he completes 360 degrees turn. Again both partners start facing same direction.
Cha: With both hands stretched, both continue walking forward. He puts his right foot ahead a bit. She puts her left foot ahead a bit.
Cha: He brings his left foot close to right one.
1: He puts his right foot ahead (around a feet).

Now comes double spin steps, where she does 1.5 counter clockwise turns, and in end both partners start facing each other.
2: He puts his left foot forward and starts rotating her counter-clockwise by 180 degrees (making counter-clockwise circles with both of his hands).
3: He puts his right foot forward and continue rotating her counter-clockwise.
2: He puts his left foot forward and continue rotating her counter-clockwise. He leaves her left hand with his right hand.
3: He puts his right foot forward and brings down his left hand. He also holds her left hand with his right hand. After rotating 1.5 turns, when both partners start facing each other, she should remember to put her left foot next to her right foot, so that they can end the rotations and continue with basic Cha Cha steps.

Basic Cha Cha steps follow.
