What does Suelta means?
Suelta is a Spanish words that has several meanings in English. It can mean “loose”, “free”, “Single”, “Detached” “Let go”or “separate”. In this context (the latin dance one of course!), Suelta is used to describe when a dancer is dancing alone, performing some steps but alone, without a partner. We also use the word Shine. You can then add suelta for any dances:
- Salsa suelta
- Cuban Son Suelta
Quite often, people also use the word “Shine” to describe the same situation:
- Salsa Shines
- Cuban Son Shines
When Can I dance Cuban son Suelta ?
Cuban Son Suelta or Salsa suelta are usually danced in these three main situation:
- When dancing with a partner, and the salsa music or son cubano songs are intensifying the instruments and the vocals are having a break. At that specific time, usually dancers like to break away and try to play the instruments with their feet and body movements.
- As an animation. One dancer goes in front and show a step that everyone copy after. It is a social way to dance all together
