Setenta

Figure de combinaison du casino cubain — le « soixante‑dix » derrière le dos

SalsaNiveau : Intermédiaire1 min de lecture2 citations

Setenta — espagnol « seventy » — est une figure de combinaison centrale du Cuban casino, le style circulaire de partenaires à la base de beaucoup de salsa moderne. Comme d’autres formes de danse très évoluées, le casino possède sa propre terminologie de mouvement élaborée,[1] répertoriant les figures comme un vocabulaire partagé de noms appelés qui fonctionnent comme des termes plutôt que comme des noms de danses.[2] Dansé a tiempo, les partenaires commencent en prise ouverte ; le leader ouvre le suiveur à travers le cercle dans une enchufla, puis attrape sa main droite derrière son propre dos, la maintenant ainsi pendant un second tour avant de se résoudre avec un dile que no retour à la position ouverte. Ce moment de la main derrière le dos constitue la signature de la figure, conférant la qualité enroulée, « lassoed », qui la distingue d’une enchufla simple. Le terme « Setenta » se transmet intact, les scènes de casino cubaines, de Miami et européennes conservant le nom original plutôt que de le renommer ou le traduire, et la figure ancre une famille numérotée de variations telles que Setenta complicado et Setenta moderno.

Comment ça se danse

Signaux de guidage et de suivi

ComptageCuban casino, danced a tiempo — partners break on 1 (and 5). The combination spans roughly three 8-counts: enchufla, the behind-the-back hand wrap, a second enchufla to unwind, then the dile que no resolution on the final phrase.

Guide

From open hold with the follower's right hand in his left, the leader breaks back on the left foot a tiempo on 1. He leads an enchufla, walking the follower across the circle; as she turns to re-face, he passes her right hand into his right and carries it behind his back — the wrap that names the figure — offering his free left hand in front. He leads a second enchufla to unwind the trapped arm, then resolves with a dile que no, opening the follower back to the start. The held hand stays low and the lead is a continuous arc around a shared center, never a straight-line pull.

Suiveur

The follower mirrors the leader, breaking back on the right foot on 1 — opposite foot, same direction away from the partner. On the enchufla she walks forward across his front and turns roughly a half-turn to re-face as her right hand is drawn behind his back, following the wrap without gripping and letting the arm settle low. She takes the offered left hand in front, turns again on the second enchufla as the arm unwinds, and completes the dile que no by crossing back to open hold. Her travel comes from walking the circle, not from forcing the spin.

Temps musicalComfortable in mid-tempo son and salsa around 150-185 bpm, where the hand wrap has room to settle a tiempo. Above ~190 bpm the behind-the-back pass must be kept compact, so faster timba is the demanding end rather than the comfortable one. Danced on the 1.

À apprendre d'abord

Prérequis

  • Casino basic / guapea (a tiempo)
  • Enchufla
  • Dile que no
  • Comfort with behind-the-back hand changes

Attention

Erreurs courantes

  • Gripping the trapped hand so tightly that the wrap cannot unwind, blocking the second enchufla.
  • Passing the follower's hand behind the back too high, catching her arm awkwardly instead of keeping it low.
  • Abandoning the circular travel and pulling the follower in a straight line, which collapses the figure's shape.
  • Rushing the wrap ahead of the beat instead of keeping each step a tiempo on 1.
  • Over-rotating the enchufla past the face-off so the follower loses the partner before the resolution.
  • Omitting the closing dile que no, leaving the follower wound up rather than returned to open hold.

À ne pas confondre avec

Mouvements faciles à confondre

  • Enchufla — Setenta contains an enchufla but is the larger wrapped combination, not the single switch.
  • Paso cruzado / cruzado — 'cross step' footwork, not this figure.
  • Setenta complicado / Setenta moderno — related but distinct named variations, not the base Setenta.
  • Ochenta ('80') — a different numbered casino figure.
  • Cross-body lead — the linear LA/NY slot figure; Setenta is circular casino, not the CBL.
  • 'Setentas' (2020) — a studio album by Pepe Aguilar, unrelated to the dance figure.
