Step 1
If you decide to learn this dance direction, make up your mind. Which type of Latin American dance attracts you more: tango, cha-cha-cha, salsa, rumba, etc.

Relax, trust in yourself and get ready for your daily workouts. Choose comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and comfortable shoes. To master the dance, be sure to study in front of the mirror, so it will be easier for you to correct mistakes and correct mistakes.
Step 3
Remember that all Latin American dances have in common the free expression of emotions and feelings, the ability to open up on stage, release your energy, and give free rein to improvisation. The technique of each of the dances has its own characteristics.
Step 4
If you want to dance rumba, remember that its main movement is the movement of the hips. In this case, the body weight is transferred to the leg that took the step, after the completion of the step. Imagine yourself standing in the lower left corner of a square. Step your left foot towards the upper left corner of the square, transfer your body weight. Step quickly with your right foot to the upper right corner of the square. Shift your weight onto her and pull your left leg up. Repeat the movement from your right foot to the lower right corner. By combining the two steps, you get the characteristic rumba swaying of the hips.
Step 5
Try to dance the basic cha-cha-cha movement. Stand straight with your feet slightly apart. On "one", take a small step with the left foot in front of the right. On "two" - step forward with the right leg with the transfer of body weight to it. "Three" - raise your left leg in place and lower it. Shift your body weight. “Four” - step with your right foot behind your left, keeping your heel off the floor. On the “one” step, take a small step with your right foot with full support. "Two" - step backward with your left leg while shifting your body weight. Raise and lower your right leg to "three". On four, step your left foot forward in a half support. Practice the movement by adding hip wiggle.
Step 6
Please note that the peculiarity of salsa is the almost complete immobility of the upper part of the body at the time. How the legs and hips make quick, precise movements.
Step 7
Don't worry if you think that it is impossible to master Latin American dances. The basic movements in them are quite simple. The most difficult thing is liberation during the dance.
