Choreographer’s note This dance is intended to be danced in the style of a Latin rumba.
That usually means with a lot of toe sliding and plenty of hip work. Also, try not to lean back on the rocking backward moves.
(It does help if you press the other toe into the floor on those rocking backward moves. That way your whole body will move forward with the knee bent)
