Casper devised Cha Cha Slide in 1998 as a musical training routine for his personal trainer nephew, Willie Perry Jr., in Chicago, where he continued to live, and its popularity began to snowball in the Chicago area.

The song was first signed locally, then by a large label, propelling it to international prominence. It became a favorite at weddings, children’s parties, sporting events, and other gatherings thanks to its line-dancing routine and enthusiastic commands from Casper (who published it as Mr C the Slide Man).
