A Two-Handed In & Out Salsa Dance Move

The other version of the in and out uses both hands. So we're going to use the same prep, we're going to do our cross body lead, one, two, three, switch the hand on seven, but this time as soon as you switch the hand you're going to pick up the left hand and ask for it on top by showing her the palm of your hand. Ladies that's your cue to give him your hand o.k.? So the right hand doesn't change, you're still going to push, pull and stop her on the hip, but now the left hand is going to go over her hand and land here at shoulder level. Not up here, not down here, shoulder level. O.k.? Ladies feel free to style your hand out to the side if you want to. On five, we're going to lead her forward, five, on six you're going to pull back with this arm. Ladies get in that tension, keep your arm stiff as you do this, o.k.? Six, right above her head, not too high and then on seven, we're going to leave this hand up here place it over our head on one for the gentlemen as you come in with the right hand. O.k.? So this is going to allow us to go back to our closed position for the basic. O.k.? So again as she's coming out of that turn, this is seven, two things are going to happen, you're going to slide in with the right hand and you're going to place this over your head on one, soon as you place it over your head, you're going to drop the hand down and ask for her hand to come back to closed position. O.k.? Showing that from the other side. From coming out of the turn, five, six, seven, it'll come over and he's going to ask for my hand, one, two, three, five, six, seven. The whole thing looks like this. Cross body lead, switch and ask, one, two, stop her, push, turn, over your head, ask for the hand back to basic, six, seven.
