No partner, no problem

Reggaeton, reparto, merengue and cumbia are danced solo more often than not, and dance fitness always is. That is most of a Latin night already.

For bachata and salsa the shapes are partnered, but the timing, the weight changes and the body movement are not. You can build all three at home.

What genuinely needs a partner is the connection: the small pressure that says "turn now". That is one evening of practice once everything else is in place, not six months.
