Back Spot Turn in Salsa Dancing

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Talia Castro-Pozo and I'm Jules Helm and we're here in New York City at Stepping Out Studios teaching you night club salsa. So now we are going to demonstrate the back spot turn. We can do it from pose position if you are in a very tight space or we can do it from an open break. We will demonstrate first from pose position. The basic, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow. This can also be turned 360 degrees so instead of going at the turn you can turn yourself all the way around. If you keep the leader on the spots we will demonstrate that next. One more time. From an open break, 360 around or if you are having trouble with that, just go half way in the beginning. Next we will demonstrate the foot work, leaders and followers. The leader's foot work. What you are going to do is hooking the right foot behind. Let me show you from the side. You've got the basic. If you are coming from closed position you are hooking the foot, seven, eleven, and rotating forward and follower's. If you take it from a back break, take a back step, step forward, even with the leader's feet, side, forward step. Let me demonstrate slowly, back break and quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow, staying to your partner's right side. "
