Hello,

I would like to know What are the pelvic movements in Cha Cha Cha and Samba?Is the pelvis goes backwards or to the side, in Cha Cha Cha? Where can I get exact explanations (VIDEOS) about pelvis movements in various Latin dances? It would be more comfortable for me to learn from a video\pictures...

Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hi,
The pelvis only moves forward and back. In the Side Samba Walk, Laird originally wrote that the pelvis moved diagonally back on step 2. This he corrected in later reprints.

What is being taught now is that the front to the back Pelvic movement is not only on the basic Natural as well as the Reverse basic. It is also on the Voltas. I think you will find that a couple of years ago when the alteration to the basic changed so that the second step has no weight on it at all. Thus we now have a body tick.
