Take Latin International Style Rumba or Cha Cha. Never stop going over the Basic Movements making sure that before a Spot Turn or a New York there is a settling of the left hip before a Spot Turn to the left. Is the movement of the Hip being used to complete the Spot Turn. All this can be practised with or without a partner. In a Latin Cross ( lock step) are you aware that there are four wight positions and could be counted 4. and. and. 1. (don't lower the back heel). With so much to perfect why would anybody stand around when there is a floor available .One that does get missed all the time is as the lady comes out of the Fan to a Hockey Stick the man forgets there is a settling of the hip to the left on 4 1. and creating a good leg line. The lady also to her right. I can only write about what I see where I live, and not where the majority of you live. But the Basic work is so neglected and being replaced by flashy variations. The fault could be put squarely on the shoulders of the judges for marking such rubbish. I would be looking at how a couple got into that fantastic shape, and how are they going to get out of it. I actually saw a couple win a competition and in their Rumba the guy didn't do one Basic movement. They just went from one shape to another, with the lady doing all the work. It's called B---t choregraphy, and there is of it plenty around.
