From Thorsten's Salsa Pages
Cuban Style is one of the Dancing Styles of salsa, named after it's country of origin: Cuba. Many of the salsa styles of Southern America have great similarities with Cuban.
Typical traits of the cuban style are:
- Different basic steps (more like a back basic)
- Based on walking and moving in circles (as opposed to moving in a line)
- Lady does less Right Turn derived patterns, more walking patterns
- Loose tension in the arms
- More arm movements
- Basic figures like enchoufa
- Start on 1, 3, 5 or 7. Which of those beats is not that important. It fits well with Cuban Music.
It is also closely related to Rueda de Casino.
