Men's Crossover Break With Turn in Rumba Dancing
This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. You can always check out my website at lesliesack.com and the dance that we’re doing is Rumba. The pattern that we’re going to be doing is cross over breaks with the ladies underarm turn right and this is a different turn, this is a quick turn for the ladies. This is the men’s part, it goes like this. So these are forward rocks with cross over breaks so it starts with half of box, slow quick-quick extra side steps and you’re going to bring this arm down, slow hold your arms in front of you, quick-quick, switch hands quick-quick, do three, slow quick-quick then it’s slow and then you do a back rock, quick-quick she’s turns slow under, fifth position break, quick-quick and box. So the ending is just like those fifth position breaks that we did earlier, we’re putting together about three different things. So the whole thing is slow quick-quick slow, quick-quick switch, quick-quick slow, quick-quick slow, quick-quick slow, quick-quick slow. So you’re ending a quarter turn to your left the way you started. Again that’s cross over breaks with the ladies underarm turn to the right, the quick ladies underarm turn.
