Salsa Dancing Lessons : Beginner S-Turn Moves

[@Bigballin1201]

just want to say u guys are great and even though i learn at a studio your combos seem to be the only ones i do when i go dancing. So thanks for the videos Dominic

All the little things add up to make the difference between good dancers and great dancers As usual, love it :-)

[@addicted2salsa]

I will. If you see the youtube video for the 180, there is an annotation where I point to a Milton Cobo video where he does a 360. A 360 is a full revolution of the guy around the girl vs the 180 which is just half. At the end of the 360, the lady ends up facing the same direction in which she started.

This is a simple S-Turn to a cross-body lead. Once you get this, other combos that we will teach will become easier: Example, S-turn to CBL 180 while still holding on to hammerlock on the bounce effect to a blind loop over lock. First building out the fundamentals. :-)

Check out episode 97 (just released) on how to connect this to a cross body lead 180 to hammerlock with loop over.

Good job as always :-).

Thanks for the flick tip in the beginning guys. However, Why would we want to lead the girl into a hammerlock (or the S-turn) if we have no intention to pick up the hand later (going straight into the 180)? Isn't it our job to pick up the hand if we put it somewhere, and the followers job to wait for us to get it?

[@MarcusBodyCoding]

fourspiralarms - you are right in most cases - we do as leaders usually use that girl's hand we put behind her back... However in this particular move - it is a great seamless transition for a 180 - meaning - it is a great transition to get our hand to the girl's back - in order to do the 180... If you will see this move performed very fast - it will be very smooth - and no one will ask himself or even notice - WHY the guy didn't use that hand. BTW - when the man touches the back of the girl\s back - it is the signal for the girl to put her arm on his shoulders - which makes this move possible.. I hope that was helpful!
