Where is the difference with dancing when it comes to transfering weights?
Absolutely, weight transfer is a key aspect of bachata basics. To keep it short, yes walking and dancing the basic share similar biomechanics. Our goal is to make our dancing as smooth as possible. Ball to Heel change, control and pushing to the ground is what makes a lot. Exercise (very slowly): - Stay on the same spot and try to shift () your hip from one leg to the other (boat movement). - Start steping on the spot from one leg to the other with ball to heel change. The better you can control the transition the smoother it will get. Your brain needs to do these movements thousands of times so they get written in your nervous system. Then you wont need to think about it. Boom now you can dance smoooothly.
