Mastering the figure-eight flow of the Zouk Infinity Step

How to Do the Zouk Infinity Step | Latin Dance · 5:28 · Video: Howcast · Watch at the source

In short: Learn the mechanics of the Zouk Infinity Step, a playful Latin dance move characterized by fluid, figure-eight motions. This guide breaks down the specific footwork for both leads and followers to help you transition from basic steps into complex, flowing patterns.

The Infinity Step is defined by a rhythmic 'side, together, together' pattern. For the male lead, the movement starts with the left foot, moving side-to-side while maintaining a specific count. The female follower mirrors this by crossing the ball of the right foot and twisting, creating a figure-eight motion with the feet and hips.

The move is described as 'extremely playful,' requiring the follower to lean forward with the hips rather than backward. To integrate it into a routine, dancers transition from a basic step into a diagonal position, using a 'super highway' of movement before returning to a 'one lane highway' basic step on count five.
