I am doing my senior project on Salsa Dancing, and I have to record a video of myself dancing a type of Salsa. The type I chose is the Cuban style. Here is some information I looked up about it:
It is characterized by Afro Cuban style body movement which includes body isolation and hip movement. Cuban style salsa does not have many fast spins. Instead the movement is very circular as opposed to linear and partners tend to travel around each other. The hip movement is more noticeable in this style and stems from the pumping of the knees. The footwork is quite simple - the complexity lies in the arm work which requires the follower to have limber, flexible arms.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any songs that are good for dancing to, or are specifically for dancing to the Cuban Style of Salsa? Thank you so much!~!
