Okay so now on the last previous turns that you just saw were the 2 turns for the men, now what we’re going to do is a turn for the ladies. Remember men if you make the girl look good you would look good. So what we’re going to do here we’re going to do 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, forward 2, Cha-Cha-Cha and girls turn, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3 and open, forward and turn and 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha. Men it’s really important that when you’re starting up you open up. Once you get here ladies you’re going to step forward with the left on your first step. Men you have to make sure that you lead the girl. Now please men, do not do this. Just do it with one finger and give each other resistance, that’s the best way to do it okay, so let’s do it from side, it’s 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, 2, 3, Cha-Cha-Cha, basic step, Cha-Cha-Cha.
