      Among the many friends who learn rumba, they always complain that many beginners are always unsteady on their feet and about to fall down after completing the rotation of a rotation that can often be seen in rumba dance, such as the spin after Kuklacha. Fitness coaches said that this is a common problem. If you want to be "stable", the key is to practice more, and the most important thing is to have the correct method.

      If you want to avoid feeling fluttery after turning, you need to turn your main foot to a sufficient angle and open your toes. After turning, your power foot should quickly support the floor, ending in a figure eight shape, and tighten your inner thighs.

      When rotating, the upper body exerts force. It should be noted that the rotation of rumba is exerted by the pelvis, while the rotation of cowboy exerts force at a higher position. The pelvis is easily ignored here. The pelvis must rotate, and the rotation of the pelvis in Rumba must start before the body after the force exerted by the feet, driving the rotation of the shoulders and head, and arriving at the same time as the feet and shoulders, while the head arrives faster than these. Only in this way can it be integrated, and the feet, upper body, and midsection can become a whole. There are six-character formula for rotation: twisting the feet, turning the hips, and shaking the head. It is necessary to ensure the overall coordination of the feet, hips, and head.

      The position of the feet also needs to be paid attention to. For all rotations, the position of the feet must be correct. If the foot shape is incorrect, it will affect whether the inner thighs are tightened. These two factors affect each other. If your feet remain square, your inner thighs will always be tightened.

      The requirements during rotation are basically the same. The inner thigh muscles should be clamped, the body should be kept very tight, the ribs should be retracted, and the buttocks should also be retracted. Adjust to a rhythmic but not too deep breathing, and do not hold your breath. Before rotating, you need to lower your shoulders and breath, and at the same time lower your center of gravity so that the rotation speed can be accelerated.
