This is an instruction video for Turing Left in the Box Rumba. It is the fourth video in the Box Rumba Beginners Series. The other videos are Box Rumba Basic Step , Box Rumba First Position and Box Rumba Second Position.
The Turning Left element can be used in every dance. It will help you move around the dance floor and is also the beginning to freestyling.
Ok - Turning the Box Rumba uses the same principle of turning the Bossa Nova. Remember, the Gentleman’s left shoulder goes backwards in turning to the left. He keeps a strong frame so he can bring the Lady with him - no extra leading should be required. Have a look at the turning Bossa Nova and see if you can do the same with the Basic step in the Box Rumba.
Next week we will have a practise session.
Just like in any sport, it is best to keep your fingernails short. This is so they don’t get caught on anything (and rip off).
Also, for dances that have a lot of turns, like the Swing, fingernails can get in the way of hand-holds with your partner. Long nails will cause you to shift your pressure further up the fingers which makes the lead/follow connection unstable. Long nails can also cut into your partners hand.
Having short neat nails is being considerate of your partner and is responsible dancing.
