Dance Conmigo have been teaching this combination since its beginning in 2006. We find it that the student gets a nice opportunity to practice their inside turn  material and it flows well.

Wow, this move is challenging, but my students surprised me and were able to do it without difficulty.

We started with an outside walk for the follower
a hand slide to an open break in which the leader is turning his back to the follower
a hand change to an interrupted inside turn
a right turn for the follower while the leader does a half hook turn
another open break in which the leader is turning his back to the follower
a surprise leader stepping perpendicular to partner to guide her a one turn an a half while the leader does a hook turn.

In this video, we spoke about the first building block of salsa dancing, the basic step.

Here are 3 general points of the salsa basics.

1. The music is composed of eight musical beats. 1-2-3 (on the 4 we do a small stop) 5-6-7 ( on the 8 we do another stop)

2. The leader stars by stepping forward with his left foot, while the follower starts by stepping back with her right foot.

3. The basic can be done in either open (holding hands) or closed position.

Salsa is is a great fun activity. Alain and Cheryl from Dance Conmigo hope that you will join us for all our other level 1, level 2 and level 3 videos.

If you live in the Montreal (Canada) area, consider coming to our dance classes or our coming to our salsa party the first Saturday of every month. Write us an email for more information.

One of the biggest satisfaction of teaching dancing is to see the expression of happiness on the faces of the students after they manage to learn a new movement and after having pleasant interaction with other students in the class.
