Rumba is mainly a few steps

The rumba has six main steps.

The basic movement, which has a total **** of six steps:

Step 1: Left foot forward (LF fwd), toes turned out (T Turned Out).

Step 2: Right foot in place (RF in Place), weight shifts to the right foot.

Step 3: Left foot to side and slightly back (LF to side and slightly back).

Step 4: Right foot back (RF back).

Step 5: Left foot in Place (LF in Place), center of gravity shifts to left foot.

Step 6: Right foot to side and slightly fwd.

The above is a men's dance step, and its first, second and third steps are the fourth, fifth and sixth steps for women.

About the movement of the feet also involves the action of the knees and hips, when the left foot moves forward the knees are slack, when the center of gravity goes up to the left foot the knees are straight, while at this time the hips move softly to the left, and then the right knee is slightly slack; when the center of gravity moves back to the right foot, the right knee is straight while the hips move softly to the right, and at this time the left knee is slightly slack; when the center of gravity moves to the side to the left foot the left knee is straight left hips soft.

Dance skills:

1, to achieve a stable center of gravity of the individual, not to arm force

Latin dance, everyone should have their own stable center of gravity, and each other lead is only a very small force of the body. When the body rotates, the axis around is always the spine. In Rumba, the shoulders sink and the feet step down to lower the center of gravity, while the spine goes up to maintain the internal balance of the body.

This is the time to tighten the inner thighs, hips, abdomen, and side waist, so that the body's writhing does not transfer much force to the arms, thus affecting the partner's center of gravity.

2, the elbow do not move to the back side of the body, at most clamped at the side of the body

Rumba dance, the lady will be the right arm arm of the big arm clamping, muscle tightening, if the man gave the lady a backward thrust, to the whole body to move backward, rather than the elbow swinging backward. And the speed of the woman's body moving backward should be faster than the speed of the arm's force transmission, so as to stabilize the body's center of gravity when the man stops thrusting.

Similarly, the man's arm does not need to be tightened when he receives a push, while the elbow can be moved slightly forward when giving the woman power.
