(Bachata) The secret of counts 1 & 5 😎 Not a stop, not a move — that in-between state: LIMBO — Agustín Alba by Vasion

“Just think of it this way — the basics are never finished. Never.”

Before getting into the limbo concept, they start with the right attitude toward fundamentals.

“I think you have to wait until you feel what the next direction is.”

CONTEXTExplaining the limbo state on counts 1 and 5 — why feeling the direction matters more than automatically launching into the next move.

“Because in a social situation — social dancing — you don't know the combination.”

CONTEXTWhy you have to wait and feel the next direction: in social dancing there's no set combination you both already know.

“If you go in automatically, you just end up moving on to the next step.”

CONTEXTPointing out what goes wrong when you move automatically, with no limbo.

“This feeling, this sending — that's what moves me forward.”

CONTEXTWrapping up: the feeling you send your partner in the limbo is what creates the move forward.
