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're going to get fancy. With something called, traditionally the Texas Tommy, or in the Salsa world, the Valentino. And for fun I like to call it the Valentina. Here we go. So here's what it is. You're going to be taking, here's your basic, you do an open break. You're going to drop that left arm straight down, bring it straight up, drop it straight back down and out. Puts you in a handshake hold. Nice place to throw in a right turn. So, real time, here's what that looks like. We have our basic, five, open break, down, down up, into handshake hold. Great place like I said for a right turn or if you want to get really crazy, cross body lead off the right hand. So that's a bonus step in there. One more time valentino, valentina or Texas Tommy. Down, up, down and again. So there you are, the Texas Tommy.
