A classic Cuban Setenta move and a must to train at intermediate level for learning the basic technique of going down under the Follow’s right arm. Abajo and por Abajo means down.

But nine out of 10 videos use the Vacilala ending. In this tutorial we look at the

This is easily my favorite Setenta and even my favorite of all moves. Not just because it ends with a wonderful two handed Vacilala but because we have many good alternative options for ending the move making it very versatile.

I stumbled upon this excellent brand new move, at least unknown to me, in two exactly the same versions both called Setenta y Uno a la Moderna, but I prefer to shorten the name to Setenta y Uno Moderno. This move could easily be one of the Complicado climaxes of any social dance. It made it into my repertoire right

There are many moves on YouTube called Setenta y Uno Complicado, if we also search for 71 Complicado and Setenta con Gancho Complicado, but with one exception, I don’t think, I have seen the same move twice. That is, Setenta y Uno Complicado is, at the moment, just a name for all sorts of moves, even for moves that do
