La Habana

La Habana = "Havana," named for the Cuban capital. It is a signature multi-part combo that strings the Setenta hammerlock module and a Sombrero overhead drape into one continuous, flowing sequence before resolving to open. Standard reading: enter on a Setenta-style prep into the hammerlock-and-unravel, travel through a Sombrero drape and a turn for the follow, and resolve via enchufla or Dile Que No. Exact club choreography may vary — verify against your teacher's version.

• Lead: Keep the joined hands high and untangled through the drape, and lead the hammerlock arm low so you don't jam the shoulder — the whole combo should travel, never stall.
• Follow: Give generous overhead room on the sombrero, keep your head level, and let each phase — hammerlock, drape, turn — be led rather than anticipated.
• Timing: Multi-phrase: prep and hammerlock on the first 8-count, drape and turn across the next, resolution on the following 8.
• Common mistake: Tangling the arms on the transition between hammerlock and drape, or dropping the height so a drape catches the follow's head.

A named hero combo in the same family as Evelyn and Juana la Cubana — built from the Setenta and Sombrero modules every intermediate already owns. A flowing showpiece that still lives in social casino when the music opens up.
