The Cuban Motion in Night Club Salsa Dancing

Video Transcript

On behalf of Expert Village my name is Talia Castro-Pozo and I am Jules Helm. And we are here in New York City at Stepping Out Studios teaching you Nightclub Salsa. Okay, very important is that we dance not only to the rythym but we also look like we are dancing Salsa. To do that we we use our hips. We use our feet. We use our knees to create a Cuban motion. So we are going to demonstrate just a little bit of that and the idea is since Salsa, Night Club Salsa is a social dance. Also we don't have a lot of space to dance the dance. So we want to make sure that we a grounded. We are taking small steps. Even though New York Salsa moves a bit front to back. We don't want to take big steps. So we are going to demonstrate together a Cuban Motion. Cuban Motion first off in the side you take will just sit into the hip. Right hip, left hip, right hip, left hip. Different techniques get more formal with this. Getting more involved with the inside edge. Beveling with the knee. Showing it from another angle. Again, little bit of a turn out. Beveling that knee from side to side. Hip moving from side to side. And then if you want to get even a little bit more specific you can delay it. It looks like this in real time. Step, rock, step, step, rock, step.
