 History of Latin-American Dancing
Beat 1 is a strong beat of the music, but all that moves on that beat are the hips, so the music emphasises the dancing of the hips.
These differ only as to which beat of the musical bar is stressed by the dancing: beat 4 in the first case, beat 1 in the second (Rust, 1969, 105).
The dances were all done to 4/4 Ragtime music, with stress on beats 2 and 4, and have syncopated rhythms.
