What is Cuban Motion?
Cuban motion is characterized by a rhythmic swaying of the hips caused by the bending and straightening of the knees (though the knees remain “soft” — slightly bent — at all times). It is a style of movement which should be present in Latin American dances, including Bachata, Mambo, Salsa, Rumba, Merengue, Samba and Cha Cha. It tends to be easier to dance & more noticeable when the music is slow.
