What are the steps of habanera folk dance?

The habanera folk dance, originating from Cuba, typically consists of a series of steps that include basic footwork, hip movements, and arm gestures. The dance often begins with a slow, deliberate step-touch movement, followed by syncopated steps and turns. Dancers may also incorporate intricate hand movements and body isolations to add flair and expressiveness to the performance. Overall, the steps of the habanera dance are characterized by a combination of smooth, flowing motions and sharp, staccato accents.

What is the Tango Habanera?

The antique Argentine Tango was influenced by the Tango Habanera, which bears no resemblance to the Argentine Tango we know today. The Tango Habanera came about from two types of Tango: the Milonga with its influence in the guajira flamenca and the Tango andaluz or Tango flamenco. The Milonga was danced and played by country side people of Argentina. The Tango Habanera was an amalgamation of the Habanera and the Tango Andaluz or Tango Flamenco. The rhythm of the guitars playing the Tango flamenco or andaluz could not be reproduced in orchestra instruments and with the piano, so the Tango andaluz or flamenco was modified with the habanera rhythm. The Tango Habanera was heard in 1883 but died towards the end of the century. The Tango Habanera has been entirely associated with the first forms of Argentine Tango. The flexing of the knees is associated to a dance called Candombe which was danced by the black people from Africa living in Buenos Aires. The male Candombe dancers danced with their knees flexed, to show their dance skills using walking steps (corridas) and turns.
