On behalf of Expert Village my name is Maria and this is Eddie. We're with salsainUtah.com. The step we're going to learn is called back to back. From here we start on 5 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 7 two hand on 1 then we're going to do an outside spin 2 3 5. This is where we are going to start the back to back position so now instead of going forward with your left foot on 6 you are going to step back with your left and she's going to step back to her regular step on 6. At this point 6 7 this point you are going to be pulling towards your right side with your left hand and your right hand is going to be over the head and the left hand is going to go over yours. So you are going to be in this position back to back so let's do that again one more time so we go from here 5 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 up on 1 2 3 open break 6 7 now right over hers left over mine. At this point this will be 1 then right away you are going to loose the right hand and lead her into cross body inside spin 2 3 stop her on 5 then back to your basic 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 2 3 open break 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 2 3. From another point of view 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 up 1 2 3 open break 6 7 back to back then you are going to loose the left hand and spin her inward with your right 2 3 don't loose the hand 6 7 1 2 3 5 one more time 1 2 3 open break 6 7 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 2 3 5 6.
