Five(ish) Minute Dance Lesson: Latin Dance

10/04/13 • 5 min

In this lesson you will do a rock step—a forward or backward step that takes your weight just slightly, rocking you back where you started. It is fast, so stay light on your feet and transfer only enough weight to enable lifting the opposite foot. In between rock steps, get those feet moving quickly to complete the triple step. You can count 1, 2 (for the rock step) then cha- cha- cha (for the triple step).
