It’s better to demonstrate facing the mirror, so that we can see the move from both sides.

I am not sure what …
I am not sure what some of the comments are about… Bolero is not the same count as Cha Cha, Bolero breaks on 3-4(7-8), Cha cha is on 2-3 Break. Rumba in American Style on 3-4 same as Bolero, but Rumba in International style breaks like cha cha, on 2-3. Please stop commenting about counts/timing if you are unsure, this video is intended for Beginners, do not get them on the wrong count from the start… Goodluck to all dancers!!!

in almost all dance forms the man starts with his left foot. The only exception i can think of is line dancing. This is even true of the basic step for break dancing!

Rock step in cha is …
Rock step in cha is on 2-3, in bolero the quick quick is on 3-4, so i dont know what your teacher was smoking but the count is most certainly not the same as cha-cha.

Bolero is similar …
Bolero is similar to the rumba (a very slow one) according to my dance teacher but has the same count as the cha-cha. If that makes sense. You can translate the cha-cha steps into bolero better than the rumba steps.

There are many ways to dance, and I appreciate Rosario’s lesson. As a lead, I know to mirror the Lady’s part. Rosario, I would like to see more. Muchas Gracias

You suck! Sorry, …
You suck! Sorry, but you should always teach the man’s part. Also, the Bolero is not counted in “quick, quick, slows”. You would know that if you were properly trained.
