I dance salsa, bachata, & merengue, and I want to learn how to isolate my muscles for dancing. Where would I start?

There is lots of isolation in Yoga and in belly dancing if you have those DVDs. If you can afford it, take a private lesson in the type of dance you wish to pursue, but don’t sign a contract, or use your knowledge of the other dances and try it on your own, or ask one of your dance partners to work with you for fun. There may be something on your cable fitness channel that is free. Also, study female anatomy as in the following book: Women’s Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier

Here is a “Pepe Response” to a very good bachata performance by the popular Carlos Cinta, with Pepe’s own “Street Style” bachata.

I need to learn how to dance Bachata for my friends debut which is in June. I have some major problems that need to be fixed. First off, I can’t find the beat. It is not only in bachata but for a lot of music. Second, my sister has been teaching me bachata but I have the problem in which I can’t move my hips and I look really stiff.

The song that we are going to be dancing to is "Todo por tu amor" by Xtreme. I know it’s a fast song which is why I’m going to start off with a slow song first to get the hang of it. We don’t want to make the dancing look so sexual so we are going to be just holding hands instead of being so close together. We also need to learn some turns and spins to make the dancing look better.

Thank you for helping me out. Any video links or website links will be highly appreciate as well as just your opinions and suggestions.

Starstylers have good musci for that..cheack em out
