Cuban Motion Practice Tips

Some things to keep in mind when you practice cuban motion:

• Step on the bend leg and KEEP THE OTHER ONE STRAIGHT - do not bend both legs at the same time (careful: a straight knee does NOT mean a locked knee)
  
  
• Start stepping in place (merengue) until you have the correct motion, then expand your steps slightly until you reach your full basic step
  
  
• Make sure your stepping leg is bend on the beat it hits the music - the straightening of the leg happens BETWEEN the beats, on the "&" (123)
  
  
• Don't actively move your hips - let your knees move them
  
  
• Remember your hip goes "out" to the opposite side of your stepping leg - if you step with your right leg, the hip goes "out" on the left side and vice versa

You can watch this excellent video about cuban motion for further instructions, it's walking you slowly through the technique and different exercises:
