Great video can I ask if this figure 8 hip action is used in salsa?

[@ballroomwithalexey3951]

Hi there, yes you also can use this figure 8 movement in Salsa. But it’s going to be more on the band knees.

[@AsteroidB6120]

@@ballroomwithalexey3951 Thanks for your answer. Can I ask what are band knees?

[@ballroomwithalexey3951]

Sorry😂 I mean that your knees should be bent, not straight like I show in this video.

[@AsteroidB6120]

@@ballroomwithalexey3951 Oh lol that's very helpful info. Thanks a lot!

[@chicanica64]

Show us the cucaracha exercise! Nicely done figure 8! Thank you!

[@themagicalemcee]

I do a young Tom Jones tribute show...this has been a great help 👌🏼

[@spencerbaird4542]

Thanks so much! I love your videos. While doing this move should your knees bend at all? Or is it all weight transfer with no bend? Thanks!

[@ballroomwithalexey3951]

Hi Spencer, great question! it depends on what style you are dancing. If it is latin, than keep you standing knee straight at all times. If it is American, then you transfer your weighting on a bend knee and then straightening it.

[@vanessaalonzo4744]

Steven thank you for you comment! Figure 8 is the fundamental hip action movement for dances like cha-cha and rumba! You can meet at at the figures like Cucaracha and side rocks !
