Just wondering how to get that lovely 'below hip' movement needed to dance cha-cha, rhumba, etc.
Any tips to help me??

Any advice much appreciated.

Dancer- Isolation exercises will help out quite a bit. Practice neck/head, arms, sternum, abs, hips/legs, and feet. They are all important to achieve your goal. You should have someone qualified to show you how to do them correctly so you do them the right way and to keep from getting injured. Good Luck.

That is a thousand-dollars' question. The correct technique can?t be learnt in a few hours by a few words. What you can try is to find a coach who can teach the right technique. In addition of having a relative deep pocket for hiring a coach to learn it right, you need commit your practicing time, a few thousand hours maybe.

As an assistant learning method, you might want to watch some technical videotapes, such as Shirley Ballas? ?Latin Technique and Muscular Exercises?.

You also can post this question to any ?experts? at askme.com and see whether any of them is able and willing to answer your question.

Remember thought, no any good technique comes cheap and easy.
