How to do a Basic Salsa Step

Video Transcript

Now that we know how to hold our partner, we're going to show you how to do the basic steps together as a couple. Gentlemen, right hand high. We're going to keep the left hand in the pistol grip, low at the lady's waist level. Depending on how tall she is, that may be up here or maybe down here, but you need to adjust to your girl's height. Keep that hand at the waist level pressing forward against the invisible wall. The guy is going to start forward, and ladies of course, you're going to start back on 1. Ladies, the big thing here is to remember is that the guy is in charge. I know, it sucks sometimes, but we've got to let him have this turn to be in charge. He's going to be the leader and we have to be the follower. I don't want you to go back until you feel him pushing you. Again, you don't go forward until you feel him pull you. Guys, just keep a strong connection here and take the girl with you. It's going to look like this. 5, 6, 7, forward, 2, 3, back, 6, 7, this is 1, 2, 3, pause, 4, 5, 6, 7, pause, 8, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, one more time, 5, 6, 7.
