Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you the turn, but with my partner. So it's very important that you see that the steps are not going to be the same, so he's going to show you what is happening with the man's step. So it's backward, side; and in my backward ocho he does a lapse and keep going with his body, so I can follow his body, with my stepping backward, side, forward. And he's doing this lapse, and crossing backwards, so give me the space where I can go, like a door that opens, and I can go. To finish it, I can finish going back to the salida always, and the conclusion. Once more; 1,2 lapse for the man, and the lady keeps her body connected with the upper body of the man, following his body, and the legs keep doing the backward ocho, side step, forward ocho, backward ocho, and back to the salida. 1 and 2,1; 1 and 2,1."
