How to do an In & Out Salsa Dance Move

Alright now let's show you how to do the Frisbee turn together. Ladies, your footwork is the inside turn, same as before, gentlemen you already know yours, George just showed you o.k.? So here's how we are going to get into the turn. We want to have a smooth transition from our basic so we're going to use a cross body lead as a transition. All we do is after we push her forward on five, o.k., this is five, you're just going to slide down her arm, six and catch, seven. Make sure that you keep your girl close to you and that both of you keep your elbows bent. You don't want to end up out here. So stay close together, we end up here on seven. Now as we go forward we're going to lead her back, this is forward, open up on three, now it follows the same pattern as all the other inside turns. We're going to lead her forward on five, give her the turn on six by tossing that hand out to the back six, and then we catch her on seven by placing the hand in between her shoulder blades and following her around. O.k.? Ladies that's your cue to get your arm up and over, o.k.? So from this side, forward, open up, three, ladies feel free to style your arm out to the side if you want. He's going to lead you forward on five, toss, six, catch, seven and basic, two, three. I also want to show you from this angle because I want you to see that when we open up on three, we're actually very close together, both of our elbows are bent. We don't want to do Broadway, where we?re both like this. This is Salsa. In nightclubs, you don't have a lot of space so we want to make sure that we stay close together, keep the elbows bent and then lead her through the turn, five, six, catch, one, two, three, five, six, seven.
