How to Do Turns in the Samba Dance

Hi, my name is Yolanda Travis and on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be teaching you how to Samba. The next step I will teach you is how to turn. There is two different ways you can turn that I will be teaching you. The first one is you just open your hands out and you just turn. Just freely turn and you're just on top of your left foot and so all you do is just on top of your toe is kind of lift it up and turn, (dancing) stop the other side same thing. Let's do it right side again and go. (dancing) The other turn that you can do is what you do is jump crossing your foot and you just turn, open so it's like a step step turn out. Again step step turn out, let's do it fast step turn out step turn out step turn out again step turn out.
