As someone that works in theatre and stepped into a postion that has me doing cues on specific beats, this is a good start for me. (Was never more confused when a director told someone to fire a cue on the 3rd of the 2nd 8 😅 (basically fire on the 11th count total))

Thank you! Amazing video! As for me, I would like to understand better counting by cha cha and rumba, thank you. ;))

excellent video. I am a beginner bachata student. I am struggling to find the no1 in bachata dance music. Do you have any video on finding the beats and no1 in bachata music. Thank you.

Maybe I missed it, but how do you find the 1? ( first beat in an 8 count)

[fffff]

So counting the beats to eight is the rhytm? Rhytm is eight beats?
