Catch the Step

Dancing consists of many types of movements. It is the job of a dancer to learn these steps in order to fulfill the requirements in the field of dance. the following explanations are all different steps in which dance consists of. The point of these descriptions is to help you catch on to any of the steps and pick them up by reading the description step by step. I am not going to list all of them, otherwise I would be here forever.
Ball change is a dance move that consists of two steps: a partial weight transfer on the ball of a foot behind or by the other foot, followed by a step on the other foot. This action has a syncopated feeling and counted &1, or &2, or a1, or a2, etc., i.e., the "ball" step splits off the end of a beat. It is used, e.g., in the kick ball change. Basic figure One of several step patterns that characterize a dance and constitute its basis. Sometimes there is no strict agreement as to their number. Usually they are the ones taught at the beginner level. Box Step is a dance figure named so because the steps rest in the four corners of a square. It is used, e.g., in American Style ballroom dances: Rumba, Waltz bronze-level Foxtrot. The leader begins with the left foot and proceeds as follows. Chasse is any of three-step patterns, steps going basically side-together-side. The word came from ballet terminology. Finally the last basic step that I am going to describe to you is the Cross body lead. The Cross-body lead is a common and useful move in Latin dances such as Salsa, Mambo, Rumba and Cha-cha-cha. Basically, the man on counts 2 and 3 of his basic ste does a quarter-left turn, that is 90° counterclockwise, while still holding on to the woman. On counts 4 and 5, he leads the woman forward across him, and he firmly leads her with his right hand on her back, so that she travels across and turns around and faces the opposite direction she was facing. At the same time, the man does another quarter-left turn as necessary in order to follow the woman and face her. At the end of the move, the couple has reversed their original positions.
The Cross-body lead can be done with single-hand or double hand hold, with or without a woman's underarm turn, or leading the woman to do a free spin. These are just some steps of dance mostly the common ones that a lot of people tend to hear about; however, if you would like to learn more about htese particular dance moves they are available on several online dance websites.
