Sex It Up - Reggaeton Style
By Chen Lizra of Latidos Productions

Reggaeton is the latest and hottest dance in the Latin dancing community. It’s entering all of our Latin clubs and penetrating our lives both locally and in every corner of the world. It’s considered as the Latin hip-hop, but unlike the North American hip-hop, the Latin one is an expression of sensuality and sexuality.

In Cuba, you see couples dancing, rubbing against each other in a way that makes you wonder what they leave for behind their bedroom doors. But what is also evident is how naturally it comes to them. Unlike the awkward feeling that many North Americans hold about their bodies and expressed sexuality, the Cubans get a kick out of expressing it freely and push it to the provocative extreme joke. It’s their form of play and fun.

Walking on the streets of Havana, day and night, Reggaeton is blasted from just about every boom-box, in homes, from bicycle taxis etc. It’s very common to see girls standing outside their homes, bored, too hot to be inside and just grinding casually, while observing the people passing by.

But don’t be mistaken, dancing Reggaeton with someone brings out the sexual intent and if you’re not interested, elegantly dance away, or in a matter of seconds you’ll find yourself in an uncomfortable situation. On the other hand, if you like the guy, this just might be your ticket as you playfully seduce him.

If while reading this you’re already contemplating your trip to Cuba, you’re in luck. Latidos Productions is bringing all of this to your door step, offering Reggaeton classes - for women only! The classes are rich with Cuban Folklore like Son, Cuban Mambo and Rumba. This is an opportunity to explore the women’s part, before testing it on the dance floor. Beginner and intermediate levels start this coming September 2006.
