One of the next basic Bachata steps that I want to show you is just a pivot step. It starts out of the basic, it looks like this. One, two, three, and, five, six, seven, and. One, two, three, and, five, six, seven, and. Right, left, right, and left, right, left. Again, goes right, left right, and left, right, left, and. How the step works, let me break it down. Out of our basic, all I'm doing is I'm going to start with my right and I'm going to pivot half way around to my right and here's my hip. It's just going to show the hip from a totally different side. And, now, I'm going to do the same thing. So, again, out of my basic, watch, I'm stepping right, left, right, hip. Now, I'm stepping left in place, right turns around, left comes behind, hip. Right in place, left comes around, right, hip. Left in place, right comes around, left, hip. Okay? So, let's put it all together, smooth it out. It goes, One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Step one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Then you can go right back into the basic, five, six, seven, eight.
