How to Add More Partner Cumbia Dance Step Turns

Video Transcript

You just learned how you're going to turn your partner. You can add a turn yourself. It makes the step much more lightly, more energetic. Let's come into our basic. Now, I'm going to review. Her turn will be a review. You already saw it in a previous clip. We're going 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. Let me do it again. Again, just showing the step. 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3. Here's the full step. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3. The very first part, you've already learned. You're open breaking. 1, 2, 3. If you were going to decide to turn, this 3 step is very important that you take a big enough step, because all you have is 5, 6, 7 to switch again. Again, let's move it up. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1. Notice all the leading is with the left hand. Let me break down what the left hand is doing. First, you're extending your hand on your 1 to get the open break. 2, 3, goes over your partner's head and comes back down. Your 5, is again you're extending your arm into a similar open break. Now, 6 is very progressive. You're bringing the hand to your waist as you come 6, 7. See that. If you place your partner's hand there, that's a message. You're telling her keep your hand there. Notice she keeps her hand there and you pick it up out of the turn. Again. 1, 2, 3, extend, place on your body, and catch. You want to catch it right before the 1. Again, I'll show smoothing it out a little bit. 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. Here's our basic into the step. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7.
