Understanding Cuban Motion (Live)

In this live class replay, Anthony takes you deep into the real meaning of Cuban motion—what it is, what it’s not, and most importantly, how to stop faking it and actually feel it. Broadcasting from his living room (in full Latin heels, of course), he breaks down the mechanics of Latin-style body movement in a way that’s practical, clear, and a little bit hilarious. If you’ve ever found yourself wiggling your hips in cha cha or salsa and wondering why it doesn’t look quite right—this is the class for you. Anthony explains that true Cuban motion doesn’t come from forcing your hips—it’s actually the natural byproduct of how you use your feet, knees, and core. Through simple drills and relatable metaphors, he walks you through how to create authentic, grounded Latin movement without overthinking it (or hurting yourself). You'll learn where this motion shows up (hello cha cha, salsa, mambo, rumba) and where it definitely doesn’t (looking at you, Two Step). Whether you’re brand new to Latin dance or you’ve been trying to master “the wiggle” for years, this class will help you finally understand what Cuban motion actually is—and how to do it like the pros.
