š„ Paso Son Time Step Explained (The Root of Son & Salsa Timing)
Paso Son is one of the most important time steps in Afro-Cuban danceāand one of the main bridges between Cuban son, salsa timing, and grounded body movement.
In this video, I break it down clearly so you can see and feel how the step works:
ā¢ A full Paso Son time step demonstration
ā¢ How the step connects directly to the music and phrasing
ā¢ Core body mechanics that create grounded, relaxed movement
ā¢ Hip isolations that emerge naturally from weight transfer
ā¢ Break steps and why they matter for partner dancing
This is not about memorizing steps. Itās about understanding how rhythm organizes the body. When Paso Son clicks, timing becomes calmer, movement feels heavier, and your dancing starts to breathe.
š„ Watch the video, then reflect:What changed when you saw how the hips and weight shift create the rhythmārather than forcing it?
Drop your thoughts or questions below. This step connects directly to DanzĆ³n, Son, and everything that follows in salsa timing.
