Hello! I'm fairly new to the list, and haven't experimented much with stereo
photography since an early 70's science fair project with model rocketry.  I
have a pair of Nikons which I've been wanting to set up with some kind of
support bar, and was very interested in DrT's 8' hyper-stereo fireworks.
I've used cross-viewing since I came across a box of old stereo cards (but
no viewer!) in the 80's, but have not really done much other
experimentation.

That's my long-winded introduction, now the question: What is "cha-cha"? I
think I have a pretty good idea, and assume it would be something like
shifting your weight from one leg to the other, taking a photo at each
position. Am I close? A relatively detailed description with some tips would
be greatly appreciated.
