Beginner's Salsa, the Inside turn
Dance Conmigo offers private & group Salsa classes in Montreal
http://www.danceconmigo.com/salsa
The inside turn is one of the most important step in Salsa, it is the transition between beginner's salsa and intermediate salsa.
In this step the leader guides his partner forward on "5" turns her on "6-7" and by "1" she should be facing the partner.
For the Follower, she will step forward on 5, turn on 6-7 while always advance down the line. On 1 she should be facing her partner.

Salsa 3 - Fall 2011 - Week 7
Dance Conmigo offers private & group Salsa classes in Montreal
http://www.danceconmigo.com/salsa
This move, we call it the "Pretzel" It is based on the Cuban steps of Back-step, pivot, back-step, pivot. The big challenge is what to do with the hands and how to have a proper connection. We wish you hours of fun making this work. It took me a few months to feel comfortable doing this move, but each time that I do it with an unsuspecting follower, I feel like a hero.
