发帖数: 6 | 1 A question about the New York figure in ChaChaCha. Is there a full or
partial weight transfer to the forward foot in the check action?
I had a group lesson yesterday and the instructor said that the weight
should be at the center of the feet for the check action, which means that
it’s a split-weight position. She also said that the body stays and should
not lean forward.
I am a little confused. It looks to me that the good dancers, including my
instructor have their body leaning forward in thi | r*****e

However, this NY move does not require a 100% weight transfer. Actually, it
is impossible to transfer 100% of your weight onto your front foot and come
back onto your back foot in time with the speed of chacha.
Like you said, it is a check. A check by definition is not a full weight
transfer. A check is like a stop, like stepping on your brake, which allows
you to bounce back to your back foot in a timely manner. There i

发帖数: 6 | 3 Rayrose, thanks a lot for the explanation and the encouragement! I have
another question. Is the New York in Rumba similar as it is in ChaCha?
I watched some video and noticed that the dancer’s back foot actually left
the floor before it was replaced. So does that mean that the weight is 100%
at the front foot in Rumba?

发帖数: 77 | 4 AF, you are welcome. The basic techniques for the new york movement in
chacha and rumba are the same. However, because the speed of the rumba music
is different, there are some subtle differences. You tend to transfer more
weight onto your front leg in rumba. You tend to take longer time to finish
your movement, i.e., settle into your hips in rumba. In chacha, some people
would just finish the hip movement right away on count 2, and that could be
considered ok as chacha is a crispy rhythmic danc
