Requirements for opponent position:

Shoulders should be lowered, and then the elbow joints of both arms should maintain a natural curve (slight bend). The arms should be open and strong naturally (for girls, press the middle finger down slightly, for boys, the arms should be open and the other four fingers should be together naturally). The arms should be smooth and natural during the dance, and should not be stiff.

In particular, rumba pays attention to the dance process, so when moving from one position of the hand to another, pay attention to the matching of speed and slowness, keep the music full, and do not overtake the music. The music in your hand should be as natural and smooth as flowing water.

Key points for practicing Latin dance hip swinging: While straightening your left leg with force (the knee of your left leg should be locked at this time), use internal force to press your left hip to the left At the same time, bend your right leg slightly forward, follow the rhythm, and then straighten your right leg forcefully.

Use internal force to press the right hip to the right rear (at this time, the knee of the right leg will shrink to death), and at the same time, bend the knee of the left leg slightly forward. Repeat this kind of swing, coupled with the following of the center of gravity and the cooperative pulling of the upper body as mentioned earlier, swing.

The swing of the hips in Rumba is due to the swing of the pelvis and hips caused by the straightening and bending of the knees. It is not an intentional hip swing, but is caused by internal forces squeezing the hips to the side and back.

When doing the hip swinging action, the upper body should be kept upright, the overall feeling should be lifted, the shoulders should be kept flat, and the upper body must not be tilted.
