Hi! This is Leslie Sack for expertvillage.com. You can visit my website at lesliesack.com. We are doing the Salsa side basic now. It's a nice simple pattern. You are just going to be going to the side. Okay, so we are going to count quick quick slow, quick quick slow. So find a follower and we are going to go on my right foot first, leader left foot first. So rocking, it's called the rock step when you shift your weight. 1, 2, back together, step step step, step step step and keep little tiny steps where you feet are underneath your hips, not too far away. If they are too far away, you start getting weird steps with your hips so just keep your feet right underneath your hips, you hips are here not here so your hips are right where you bones are for your legs. So its quick quick slow, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1,2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, quick quick slow, quick quick slow, 1, 2, 3, 4, very out of tack. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 and this is your side basic. Just rocking the side back to the side.
