On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Alex Ruiz from Miami Beach, Florida with Salsa Mia dance studio, and today we’re going to teach you Afro-Cuban music. Okay, so what we’re going to do now is I’m going to show this without music. I’m going to help you through and then right after this clip, we’re going to go ahead and do it with music. Okay. So watch again. Ready? 5, 6, 7. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. When you come to the middle, watch how I drop. Now, make sure your hand is here going to the side or in front of you right on the snap. Watch how my feet or my arms are landing together. 1, 2, 3, and 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 1, 2. Now watch, I work from the waist down. You see my waist. Now from the waist up.
