Master Dance Technique with Latin Dance Lessons
Through Latin dance lessons, the hip action of the rumba, the spiciness of the salsa and the rhythm of the cha cha cha can be learned along with other steps and dances. Latin dances are full of passion to the point of being lusty. A dance class is the best way of mastering dancing techniques. An instructor guides the students on how to improve their moves. What are the Latin dances that can be learned in these classes? A description of some of these dances is below.
Types of Latin Dances
Rumba
The rumba comes from Cuba and other Caribbean Islands. This dance is done with two steps quickly done and one step done slowly. However, the ballroom version loves to emphasize romantic, slower movements done with a lot of hip movement. The Latin dance lessons help immensely when trying to learn these movements.
Salsa
The salsa comes from the Caribbean with some African influences. A couple dances it using two steps quickly performed followed by a slower step and ended with a tap or pause. The couples add enhancements to these basic steps too with turns and other movements. Taking a dance class really spices up the salsa.
Cha Cha Cha
The cha cha cha has its origins in Cuba. It is made up of one step forward or back with shifting weight from one foot to the other and then a quick three steps are taken to the side. This dance also starts on the second beat. Most Latin dance classes will include this dance in the lineup.
Mambo
The mambo originated in Cuba, but also was danced in Mexico and New York. It uses a three-beat step either performed forward or back. One partner does the forward while the other one is doing the back. During this step the weight is shifted between the feet. The swaying of the hips is really what gives this dance its feel. Many a dance class will work on this hip action to perfect it.
Merengue
This is a Dominican dance and is done with two beats. It is danced in couples. Step to the inside of the foot then roll it to transfer the weight, now drag the other foot up to meet it. The couples dance this while moving front, back and to the side.
Bachata
This dance also originated in the Dominican Republic. It is done with a four-beat pattern done side to side, this means three steps to one side and then a pause. This pause usually is accentuated by hip movements. The whole body should be used to perform this, not just steps.
The Latin dance classes can teach the novices these and other dances. They can help experienced dancers perfect there moves and master their style more. This type of dancing is so enjoyable to do it is easy to see why so many love to do it. So sign up for one or two of the classes today.

Free online pattern for belly dance gauntlets?
I'm trying to add to my selection of costuming pieces, and have been sewing my own things lately rather than purchasing. I am looking specifically for a gauntlet pattern, but if you know of patterns for other types of costume pieces, I would appreciate those links as well. Thanks!
Go to
http://www.costumegoddess.com/cgtips.htm
I sew my own bellydance costumes too and this has been a great resource.
As for gauntlets, you have to fit them to your size arm, but it is pretty easy. Start with stretchy fabric. Measure around your wrist add 1 inch (measurement A) and around the part of your arm that you want them to go up to, add one inch (Measurement B). Measure from your wrist to the part of the arm that you want your gauntlet to go up to (Measurement C). Then measure from your wrist to the bottom of your middle finger (where you would wear a ring, Measurement D). Get a large piece of paper or paper grocery bag (cut out bottom and make one cut down the side, lay flat). You are going to draw a line at one end of the paper that is the size of measurement B, start at the center of that line, draw a line perpendicular to it that is the length of Measurement C, then you are going to draw a line perpendicular to that one that is centered and the length of Measurement A. Then you are going to draw another line from the center of that and perpendicular that is the legth of measurement D. Draw lines connecting all the points and you have your pattern. Sew up the longest side. with a 1/2 inch seam. put it on inside-out and put some pins in to make it more fitted, take it off carefully and sew it in. Attach an elastic at the point to go around your finger. I hope this all makes sense.
I buy this roll-on skin/fabric glue from a medical supply store to help keep mine up. It is designed for stockings, but it works great for keeping costume pieces in and to keep other body parts from falling out of costumes.
Best wishes.
