Latin dance basic step how to learn

Basic dance steps:

If your basic step is skillful, you can continue to learn at a higher level of difficulty. If you are not proficient in the basic steps, you will dance worse and continue with bad habits. If you are proficient in the basic step, your body will memorize it and you won't forget it.

If you're not proficient in the basic steps, then you'll only be able to memorize the steps with your brain; you won't be able to feel the rhythm or apply the patterns. You'll forget quickly. In the end, you still can't learn anything. Only those who are proficient in the basic steps can enjoy and have fun practicing them. For those who don't know the basics well, practicing the basics is boring.

Tie and follow:

The tie is not 100% important. The tie is 50 percent and the follow is 50 percent. By combining the two we can share the joy of ****dancing with each other 100%. Following also means helping the tie. Following is as important and difficult as leading. The man must lead the woman carefully, with gentle, refined movements, so that the woman does not feel uncomfortable.

Listening to music:

Listening attentively to music while dancing is very important'. And we also need to be in tune with our dance partner in the music. But we often forget to listen to the music. Because we are thinking too much about patterns, step changes and other things, or we think we are listening to the music. The truth is that we are not listening to the music.

Please try to close your eyes while listening to the music. Now you are listening to music. You will feel many, many things from the music that you have not felt before.

Latin Dance Basics

Basic Standing Posture

Stand with your feet together, straighten your body as much as possible so that your head, shoulders, and hips are in one line at three points, look at your eyes flatly, straighten your neck, and tuck in your jaw a little so that you can see the back of your back neck from the back and see it is straighter. Lift the chest so that both shoulder blades close inward, both shoulders sink while the middle part of the body (chest and waist part) pivots upward, so that the middle part of the body and both shoulders have a mutual top pressure. The hips are slightly inward, and the belly is pulled upward, but the body should not be overly deformed, so that the upper torso feels straight. The two thighs should be slightly inward, the knees should be straight, not bent, the muscles of the thighs and calves should be tightened, and the feeling is to pull tight in the opposite direction.

Preparatory step standing posture: left foot in front, toes to the front, the center of gravity of the body in the left foot, the body as straight as possible, so that the head, shoulders, hips three points into a line. Open the right foot behind you, keep the knee straight, point the inside of the thumb to the ground, press the heel down to the inside, don't buckle up, and keep the top of the foot straight. The right hip is opened backward diagonally at 45° so that the body forms a very long straight line from the upper body to the right toe, which can show a very beautiful form and shape in the dance.

Latin Dance guidance and follow

(a) guidance: when doing the guidance movement, the man should use the front chest, side waist and back movements to lead the hand and foot movement, so that the woman is very clear to feel the man's guidance movement. Men's body movement as long as the use of the above three elements, women can naturally move, even if not holding hands men can also use their body kinetic energy to let women feel the action.

(2) follow: usually refers to the movement of women, women's movements can not move on their own, should be guided by the man to move, so as to produce a coordinated and balanced action. When a woman follows, she first steps back with her feet, and then moves her body to complete the backward movement. The leading movement can be said to be a kind of whole body leading, and a good leading movement can produce good contact and dance posture. The instructor also demonstrated with Samba and Cha Cha Cha Cha.
