Brief Introduction
Introduction to this 'happy go lucky' dance style which is a rage amongst Salsa and Mambo dancersDescription
In this course we will cover the basics of Pachanga technique so as to keep you well equipped with the fundamentals and hence ready to take on more challenging steps later on. It is important to note that Pachanga is usually danced by Mambo dancers or Salsa on 2 dancers but I have explained the steps from the perspective of on1 dancers as it is easy to find videos on Pachanga for on2 dancers. This doesn't affect the dance in any way, it's just that the basic step used is an on1 basic. Consequently, all the steps start with the left foot instead of the right.
As a dance, Pachanga can be seen as "a happy-go-lucky dance" of Cuban origin and is mainly seen incorporated into 'Salsa Shines' or footwork. “Shines” can refer either to a performance by a group of solo men or women without a partner, or a pause in partnerwork for each dancer to show off before coming back together.
Please do not ignore the body movement technique in the course as you would need to have a strong hold on it whenever you dance Pachanga.
Happy Dancing!
