Hi, my name is Yolanda Travis and on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be teaching you how to Samba. The next step we'll be going over is the combination of the basic step but you're stepping backwards and twisting at the same time. So first what you do is you go 1 a 2 a 2 so when you go back you're kind of stepping back pushing your body backwards, 1 a 2 1 a 2. So you're going to take your right foot, let's do that part again so it's 1 a 2 stepping back 1 1 a 2 1 a 2, again 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 again 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3. Remember when you're dance Samba the way it's always on the front foot it's never a back weights so this time we're going to do the same thing but we're going to twist to the side. I'm going to show you how to do that so you go 1 a 2 1 a 2 1 a 2 1 a 2 1 a 2 a 2 a 1 a 2, so let's do it again slowly 1 a 2 1a 2 1 a 2 1 a 2 and you switch your foot to go back 1 a 2 a 1 a 2 a 2.
