There are a lot of Nightclub Dancing, we have Lindyhop, Swing, Argentine Tango, Salsa, Mambo, Bachata, Merengue, and now we have Reg and Zizomba. Almost all of them has a Latin root, so the typical Latin hip actions are needed in order to dance them well.
When I say Latin hip action, yes, primarily the Cuban hip but that is not everything. Cuban hip action includes the fully settled action + the semi-settled one, also include the Figure 8 action. However, we also have hip roll, hip circle, hip swing, hip twist, hip bump, hip shake and of course the grind and ripple. Let's practice!
Another reason that we needed nice hip actions for Nightclub Dancing is that when you are dancing in a crowded nightclub, you don't have room for arm styling at all, what you can do to catch attention is probably sexy hips and fancy footwork.
Now let's practice these hip actions before you go dancing!
