SALSA SUPPLEMENTARY // Hip Movement and Weight Transfer

Hip movement and weight transfer are big part of Latin dancing, and they're probably the biggest factor in making your salsa dancing look more authentic.
In this video we break down salsa hip motion and weight transfers, address common misconceptions about their technique and timing, and give you a few exercises to incorporate into your practice to help you develop your hip motion and improve your weight transfer.

Honestly, this might the most important salsa video on the internet. If everyone spent a little more time on these foundational elements, and a little less learning new patterns, the salsa world would be so much the better for it!

[@scoeymateo3715]

Bachata please!!!! Came here to learn about proper weight transfer would love to see a Bachata version!This is great!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@queserasera3]

Bachata, YES! Great video on hip movement!!! Loved this!

[@michaelcahn]

I must say this is one of the best breakdowns I've seen on youtube. You guys just did a large part of our fundamentals curriculum. Nice!!

[@erikalindemann4129]

I love all that you are doing on your channel and on helping make salsa dance accessible to all types of learners and people. THANK YOU! Keep up the great work.

[@guigui1992]

Thank you. I really appreciate this way of explaining as I'm a more mechanic driven learner. I knew all of this, even the mechanics of it, but having someone throughly explain it to me really helped me clarify the movement in my head. This is really awesome!

[@Fverheijden]

thank you! I have been waiting for a video like this for years

[@rbaddict2947]

awesome video...love to see more stuff like this on latin body movement

[@joanne2928]

I love this video! It helped me a lot! Thank you!!! 🎉🎉

[@mphuong002]

Very detailed explanation, really useful video for a beginner who wants to upgrade the moves like me. Thanks so much for the great job, you've earned yourselves a subscriber! 😍 😍 😍

[@BosephusBigelsworth]

Exceptional tutorial. Subscribed!

[@juanisraelortiz1019]

I started watching your videos and immediately I got interested, because what you guys explain is required to dance well. Subscribed. Please add the Bachata supplementary. Good job!

[@pixyk335]

Just what I was looking for... thank you!

[@azifahdimah]

This makes soooo much sense! Subscribed!! ☺

[@emilynw56]

I wish I’d found this video a year ago before my husband and I quit salsa lessons after taking them for a year. The explanation makes sense. Going to try this and hopefully convince husband to try lessons again. Thank you!

[@ddeokbokki007]

[@susanking610]

This is brilliant. I’m going to

[@Fluxquark]

I wish I had seen this video when I first started dancing. I have a bunch of bad habits to unlearn now and a lot of adjustments to make to my movement!

[@wormemc]

Great advice

[@estrellamariatarleton5192]

Nice video! It might be useful to explain the ball-heel action of the feet as it relates to the weight transfer of the 3-4 and 7-8 of dancing "on 1"... in another video? 😀 Thanks

[@DavidGarcia-di4jn]

It would be great to see a bachata supplementary series

[@theerickasaurus]

Thank you for this very helpful video. I was wondering how the figure 8 hip movement comes in. Is this something you could share in a future video?

[@jaydakeyz2092]

Bachata series por favor ☺. I wanna make my girlfriend proud cuz she's a great dancer and I'm not there yet lol 🙏

[@MarcusDelGreco]

I'm in the same boat.

[@fairlyagile]

I wish I was taught this when I first started! I've always had issues with too much weight on my right foot, causing numbness sometimes.

[@h2zstudio663]

Hi there :) Genius video. Thank you so much
Please make a bachata video 🌺

[@zenobiazorachacko1705]

Is there another video after this? I have the basics of the hip movements, but want to go to the next level of body movement & weight transfer?

[@AzucarLatinDanceCompany]

Not yet, but we'll work on it! Thanks for the feedback!
