How to Become an Expert and Quickly Learn Reggaeton

Reggaeton originated in Latin America, and as we know, Latin Americans are a passionate people. The dance's motto is: "Don't be shy, stand out!"

Reggaeton is fundamentally different from all other types of Latin dance because it has no set rules. It's a dance without rules.

You can spend a long time mesmerized watching others dance, or you can learn it yourself.

To dance this very sensual and sexy dance, you first need to let go of inhibitions. Passionate movements of the hips, chest, and shoulders are the foundation of Reggaeton.

The main workload falls on the legs, and combined with provocative body movements, dancers manage to attract the audience's attention and keep them on edge.

If you haven't danced or done any sports before, you'll need to work on improving your physical fitness and endurance.

It's important to know how to rotate your hips beautifully—with different amplitudes, figure eights, alternately working one hip then the other, because the dance consists of such movements. Interesting fact: Reggaeton is not a dance but just the name of a music genre; the dance style itself is called Perreo. So if you decide to take group classes, look for both names.

Another interesting fact: Reggaeton was banned in many US states due to its excessive sexuality and lack of inhibitions. It wasn't taught in dance studios.

For rhythmic movements, it's also useful to develop coordination, flexibility, plasticity, and muscle isolation.

Isolation in dance means moving one part of the body relative to a stationary body or another part. Using isolation to achieve maximum contrast and clarity in improvisation helps develop calmness during dancing and visual appeal.

Remember that the main conditions of this dance are lightness of movement, flexibility, ability to hear rhythms, move in time with the music, and respond to every sound. Mastering the basic elements will significantly improve your dance performance.

Don't forget that reggaeton improves body plasticity and adds seductiveness to your figure, so go for it!
