The next thing we're going to learn is the cross body lead. This is one of the most important things that you're going to learn in salsa. We use it all the time. It's just a way to get the girl from one side to the other side, so the guy is leading her across his body, hence the name cross body lead. First, I'm going to teach you the lady's foot work. It looks like this. I'll show you from the side, and then I'll break it down from the back. We're going to go back, rock together, pause and walk, turn, 7. The first half you already knows girls. We're just going to do our back rock just like our basic step. 1, 2, 3. Back, rock, together, and pause. For 5, 6, 7, we're going to walk forward and start turning to the left slightly. We're taking 3 steps. We walk left, right, together on the last count. You have to finish on that last count. You can only take 3 steps. You can't go left, right, left, and then come together, because then you're going to be on the wrong foot. Again, we have back, rock, together, and we walk left, right, together. When we're done, we can go back to our basic 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. We have back, rock, together, forward, 5, 6, 7, basic, 2, 3, one more time, back, rock, together, walk, left, right, together.
