This is a line dance choreographed from a freestyle couples dance with basic steps and turns. The line dance was written so single women or men without a partner could also enjoy "salsa" dancing. The rhythm is a little different and sometimes subtle. So listen closely, feel it, learn to use your hips and rib cage to move with the steps and the rhythm of "salsa" music. There is always a slight pause on the count 3 and 6.
Figure 8 action of the hips/ribcage or "Cuban hip motion" adds flavor and style to each movement!
