Salsa 101 Video Lesson 2 - How To Properly Turn
A FEW THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF ABOUT TURNING:
- Gentlemen, use only 2 fingers and draw a halo around the top of her head
- Ladies, cup your hand and keep the thumbs loose. Don't clasp down
- Ladies, a little bit of force is all it should take for a guy to turn you. A good follower is light and easy to lead. Make sure to turn immediately when you feel
- Gentlemen, do your basic in place when you are turning the ladies
- Most turns begin on the 1 count but this is not always the case. Advanced level turning can begin on any count but turn patterns are still usually initiated on the 1 count
Keep in mind that online instruction is no substitute for real time studio instruction. These videos tutorials are meant to supplement studio lessons and not be a replacement. At my studio class I have all my students do turn drills designed to make them into naturals at spinning. I hope this video will get your feet moving but make sure to get the complete proper training by stopping by my class.
