Your channel is definitely one of the best (or the best 😉) at teaching dance! This vid really answer all my queries. I feel that footwork is the easy part, but what a lot of people foget is the foot placement part, followed by the body(hip/knee/shoulder) action. So thank you sooooo much for all these details. Really appreciate it ♥ Also, I do love the way both of you talk as it gives more energy to the vids and I won't zone out along the wayXD

Barney Phillips Nice!! Quick tip for the split Cubans, keep your spine anchored over the swiveling foot. Less distance to travel = more energy for speed. Let us know how goes it. 😊👍🏼

Exactly the move I was looking to work on next! The locks are such cool looking moves; cha cha has quickly become my favorite dance in the month-'n'-a-bit since I discovered you guys. I'm really looking forward to eventually getting at the level where I can be creative and make up some moves of my own. I'm definitely inspired by the "5 ways" videos that you guys do; it's so awesome to see the standard versions of moves get a new twist

I’m also working on my balance and foot strength. Oh! I struggle with arms so much. Hahaha, it’s like I can only focus on one thing at a time. And when my teacher suggests I use arms I get it all wrong! It’s hard for me to implement arm movement in my cha cha😩

@@tytusbergstrom I like the flow of the lesson because I am a beginner and I don't know anything but if you already have experience then it might feel slow or repetitive. I recommend not to change it because the repeat is great for learning as you watch, it feels like an actual lesson (since rewinding is annoying if your trying to learn the steps) but maybe add skips like you do with your other videos to appease the more experienced learners:) Thanks so much guys for the lively and detailed commenting in your videos! Its so great to find a well thought out lesson for learning the Latin dance with teachers that have great form and who emphasizes technique!!!! I wish you guys did ballroom too but I'll have to do more googling to find videos as good as yours:) Keep up the Awesome work! PK
