How to twist in Latin dance?

The essentials of practicing hip swing in Latin dance: while the left leg is straight (at this time, the left knee should be locked), press the left hip to the left rear with internal force, and at the same time bend the right leg forward slightly, follow the rhythm, and then straighten the right leg hard.

Press the right hip to the right rear with internal force (at this time, the right leg knee will shrink to death), and the left leg knee will bend forward slightly. Repeat this swing, plus the following of the center of gravity and the matching traction and swing of the upper body.

The swing of hips is the swing of pelvis and hips caused by the straightening and bending of knees. Not deliberately swinging the hips, but the internal force squeezed the hips backwards.

When doing hip-swinging, the upper body should be kept straight, the overall feeling should be lifted, the shoulders should be flat, and the upper body should never be tilted.

The hip swing in Latin dance runs through rumba dance. Basically, it's three steps and three swings, continuous, so we must practice it well. In cha-cha, samba and cowboy, there are also hip movements.

Although the basic footwork looks very simple, in fact, practicing the basic footwork can get the feeling of Latin dance, and thus get better physical and mental benefits. Beginners should not rush for success, only pursue quantity, not quality. Latin dance must be graceful, elegant and straight. Girls should avoid the physiological period when dancing Latin dance, because the violent twist of Latin dance is easy to cause small abdominal pain and menstrual blood reflux during the physiological period.
