Lead Partner Footwork in Salsa Dancing

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Talia Castro-Pozo and I'm Jules Helm. We're here in New York City at Stepping Out Studios teaching you Night Club Salsa. So the next step, we're going to do a back spot turn, the leader's back spot turn footwork with an outside turn variation. So, we're going to demonstrate with this first. We have, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow. Open right, get off the slot, rotate your partner outside. Fun little variation. Again, to the open break, getting off the slot, drawing a circle over your partner's head, outside. Followers, after the actual back break, continue the line. We're going to pivot on the ball of the feet. So we have, six, seven, eight, step, turn, pivot, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow, once more. Step straight line, quick, quick, slow. Again, leaders, you're creating a vacuum of invitation. You're head, you're getting out of the way, and then drawing a circle over your partner's head. And there's your outside turn with leader's back spot turn footwork."
