The Salsa Basic Movement
consists of a combination of
alternating forward and
backwards rock steps in
Closed Position, to the
count of "Quick-Quick Slow,
Quick-Quick Slow". For both
man and lady, the right foot
will break back, and the
left foot will break
forward.
The figure can be danced
without any turn (as shown),
or with up to 1/4 turn left
per measure. The "Slow"
count can be a closing step
(as shown), or it can be
taken forward, back, or to
the side.
When watching the video
clip, note the action of the
man's left (lady's right)
arm and hand. It swings down
and inward as the man rocks
forward, and then returns to
the normal position as he
rocks back. |

There are many ways to dance
an underarm turn in Salsa.
This is the most basic of
all turns, danced by the
lady. It is an essential
part of any Salsa dancer's
repertoire.
The lady takes the turn in
place of her forward rock
step. She begins and ends
facing the man, taking one
full turn over the course of
three steps (LRL), counted
Quick-Quick-Slow. She will
pass under the arm sometime
between the Quick and the
Slow count.
The man leads the underarm
turn as he takes his back
rock. The turn is lead by
raising his left hand to
approximately her eye level,
and then circling the hand
around her head in a
clockwise direction.

Yet
another essential part of the Salsa dancer's repertoire,
the Cross Body Lead is a turning version of the basic
step, giving dancers more liberty to move freely around
the dance floor.
The Cross Body Lead is normally danced with a total of
1/2 turn to the left, but most interesting is the
difference of timing between the man and lady's turn:
The man will first turn away from the lady, and she will
turn later. This results in the lady passing briefly in
front of the man, giving the Cross Body Lead its name.
Fig.1 - Cross Body Position
Man turns away from lady, leading her to dance in front
of his body from his right side to his left.
