"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Talia Castro-Pozo and I am Jules Helm. And we are here in New York City at Stepping Out Studios teaching you Nightclub Salsa. So the next step we are going to do is called the cross body lead. It's sort of an advanced variation of that left turning back for basic. So in the turning basic just to refresh that. We had here and we were drifting. Slowly but surely to the left. Now the difference with the cross body lead. It is lead is going to open up strong to the left and bring his former partner by.

on 10/28/2009 Dear Talia and Jules:
Thank you so much for this video. I grew up in NYC and never learned to dance to salsa but listened to the music which has been a big part of my life and the sole link to my latin heritage other than the blood in my veins. Four years ago I moved to SF and had the urge to learn salsa but decided not to because I found the style here weird. After watching your video I learned that there is a difference and it is the "caribbean" character and dance floor neatness that is missing here. Now I can't wait for the Xmas holidays and take a couple classes back home in the NYC. I hope to drop by your studios and I look forward to seeing a pro dvd put out by you soon(i'll by it and use it here to remind me of what I call "real salsa".)
