Hi guys. I am a On 1 dancer, recently I was told that I have been moving my hip like cuban style so my steps tend to look bigger than it actually be. Can anyone give some suggestion that I can get rid of the hip habit? Stepping only onto the front of the foot?
Thanks
P.S. This site is the best!!!

It took my teacher about 3 months to get me to stop doing that last year. Essentially when you step forward on your 1 and back on your 5 you’ll notice your hip swinging out.
The trick, as is proper salsa dancing, is to step on the ball of the foot, keep your leg straight and force the ball of the foot into the floor. When you do that make sure that your hip doesn’t drop off to the side, but you should be forcing your hip inward. You need to keep you foot, leg and hip in a straight line.
Have a look at ballroom cha-cha on YouTube, it’s not salsa, but the technique is very clear.
