- First, they dance on the wrong beat of the music,
making the "break step" on the first beat of the measure
(count 1), rather than making the break step on the second beat of
the measure. This error is okay for night club social dancing but
most experienced dancers will prefer that you dance on the correct
beat. Breaking the problem requires being able to correctly count
the music, understanding where the measure begins. (My videos discuss
how to count the music.)
- Next, beginners never get the Cuban motion
that is essential for characterizing the dance. This action CAN BE
LEARNED. The secret begins with the footwork and the leg work, specifically
the bending and straightening of the legs. A mistake is to bounce
or to shuffle the feet, not allowing complete weight changes to occur.
