Reggaeton began to be heard on the dance floors in the early 2000s, at least in this part of the world. It was a novelty in terms of musical style but also in terms of dance, which was scandalous to some people. Now we have gotten used to the perreo and its provocative movements.
How to dance reggaeton like a professional?
At first glance it may seem that you just have to shake your buttocks a bit, however, not everyone has enough ease to move their hips, nor the right attitude to dance reggaeton. But nothing happens because everything can be learned, you just need to practice and let yourself go. So that you start at the beginning, we leave you some tricks that you can put into practice next time you go out to a party.
1. The hip is always in motion
The hips are the part of the body that is most involved in this dance, so they cannot stop moving at any time. It is not necessary to do fancy things, just keep up the rhythm. The legs should be slightly separated, shoulder width apart and slightly bent, in this way the movement of the hips will be much more fluid and will not be forced.
2.The feet
The best thing about reggaeton is that apprentices don't have to worry about not stepping on their partner, getting lost in the choreography, or being awkward with the steps. This Latin rhythm is danced with your feet glued to the ground, at least the basic level. If the music encourages you to do so, move your feet from one side to the other. Just do what the rhythm of the song tells your body to do.
3.Up and down
We are already in the correct position, now we have to start moving the hips from one side to the other and go down slowly and then go back up little by little. It requires some leg strength, so beginners may not be able to get all the way down. To give it a sensual touch, you can rest your hand on the thigh and move making eye contact with the person you dance with or with whom you want to seduce.
4. Body roll
If you've already let go with reggaeton, you can cheer yourself up with body roll. It is a movement that consists of waving the body starting from the head to the legs. You have to do it slowly so that it is very sensual.
5. The importance of attitude
Perhaps the attitude is the most important thing, after knowing how to move the hips. The impudence, the self-confidence and the cockiness are the essence to dance reggaeton. No technique is needed, there is no choreography to learn, it's freestyle. The trick to doing it right is to lose your shame, feel sexy, and let yourself be carried away by the music.
With these tricks you could dance to the best reggaeton songs, but there is also the option of going to a dance school so that a professional can teach us everything we need to know to rock the dance floor. This dance helps you express your sexiest side, something that can greatly influence your self-esteem. In addition, together with its catchy and energetic rhythms, it stimulates the production of adrenaline, a hormone that we all love to feel.
