Latin & American Ballroom Dances : Bolero Dance Steps

[zarasbazaar]

It's better to demonstrate facing the mirror, so that we can see the move from both sides.

@zarasbazaar . Hi, yes, we have improved the quaility, thanks to all comments. It is for you all!!

I am not sure what some of the comments are about... Bolero is not the same count as Cha Cha, Bolero breaks on 3-4(7-8), Cha cha is on 2-3 Break. Rumba in American Style on 3-4 same as Bolero, but Rumba in International style breaks like cha cha, on 2-3. Please stop commenting about counts/timing if you are unsure, this video is intended for Beginners, do not get them on the wrong count from the start... Goodluck to all dancers!!!

I would say with the basic look of the rock, its like a really slow swing dance... to latin music... :P

labtennis, the one that's free. Lead side with left, behind wiht right, forward with left. Repeat on the other side.

Rock step in cha is on 2-3, in bolero the quick quick is on 3-4, so i dont know what your teacher was smoking but the count is most certainly not the same as cha-cha.

In bolero, which foot does the lead break forward on?

[davidpatte]

in almost all dance forms the man starts with his left foot. The only exception i can think of is line dancing. This is even true of the basic step for break dancing!

Bolero is similar to the rumba (a very slow one) according to my dance teacher but has the same count as the cha-cha. If that makes sense. You can translate the cha-cha steps into bolero better than the rumba steps.

this is the basic movement we learn in rhumba. is the bolero similar to rhumba?

There are many ways to dance, and I appreciate Rosario's lesson. As a lead, I know to mirror the Lady's part. Rosario, I would like to see more. Muchas Gracias
