"Hi, I'm Brie. Now we're going to learn step nine of Salsa. We're going to go into a movement that we call, the scissor. Now remember, this is all freestyle Salsa. Now necessarily done with a partner, and less choreographed. OK. Step nine is, kick. Kick with your left foot. OK. One, and two, tap, three, and four, five, and six, seven, and eight, kick, back, nine. Let's try it again. One, and two, tap, three, and four, tap, five, and six, seven, and eight, and nine. OK. Remember, for nine, we kick your foot and then you balance yourself so your foot goes, your left foot goes behind the right foot. And you have to balance yourself. Let's try it again. One, and two, and three, and four, and five, and six, seven, and eight, and nine. One more tip on nine. Remember this is the scissor. So you're doing a movement sort of like this. So on nine, this knee is facing sort of to the right. This left knee is facing to the left. OK. And nine. Let's try it this angle. One, and two, tap, three, and four, tap, five, and six, seven, eight, and nine. Let's try it this angle. One, and two, and three, and four, and five, and six, seven, eight, and nine.
