Take small steps and let your body angle naturally. Once you've learned the dance add as much Cuban Motion and hip action as you can comfortably fit into your steps (Of course, good Cuban Motion will automatically bring the hips into play.) Stomps at counts &8 and &48 can be adjusted from a light tap to a resounding STOMP to match the feel of each phrase within each piece of music. These double quick stomps may even feel better at times as a single stomp, or touch, on counts 8 or 48.
