In Latin dance, cowboys don't need to kick 45 degrees. Cowboy kick is a relatively easy and free action, characterized by raising your legs very high and kicking them forward quickly. This action is often used in various dance styles of Latin dance, such as cha-cha, bullfighting and so on. The cowboy's kicking action is relatively straight. It is important to keep your knees straight when kicking. Pay attention to the strength and quick movements of your legs to show your sense of movement and rhythm. Every dancer's style and performance are different. The direction of the cowboy kick is straight forward or slightly upward, not 45 degrees.
