Puerto Rican Salsa For beginners Master the Basics

Hello and welcome to the world of Puerto Rican salsa .

Puerto Rican salsa differs from Cuban salsa in several ways .

In Puerto Rican salsa , the lady steps are determined by what is generally referred to as the line of dance .

She moves along this line from one point to another as she carries out , the figures indicated by her partner .

The line of dance is obviously an imaginary line but it could be said to exist since all the salsa movements are designed to respect it .

Puerto recon salsa also lets you move into a whole variety of different combinations and figures in a relatively short time .

And lastly , the Puerto Ricans have added a number of movements and steps known as shines which vary in their level of sophistication and are generally carried out with the man and the lady facing each other .

The programs will first present each new figure as it is danced by the couple together .

This for example is the shake , the man's steps will then be shown and explained , followed by those of the lady , the couple will then dance together again .

These are shines shown here as an addition to crossover Kurata steps we shall be looking at shines in detail and explaining how you can introduce them so that they become an integral part of your dance routine as well as how you can link them with other figures .

In this lesson , we should be looking at the basic principles of Puerto Rican salsa , starting with the basic steps on the spot or in place .

Basic step for the man .

123 are now 567 .

The man moves his left foot forward , brings his weight back onto his other foot and brings his feet back together .

Then he moves his right foot back , transfers his weight and brings both feet back together again .

Again , 123 together , five right foot back , six and seven and both feet together .

One last time , 123 and 567 .

We are now going to look at the progressive basic step instead of the feet coming back together at the end of each bar , the foot which is in motion progresses past the other foot again , 123 , left foot back , 567 , right foot forwards , 123567 , again , 23 , five , right foot back 67 .

The progressive basic step is the main step used in the figures which we shall be studying later again , 123 right foot back 67 .

Now the ladies on the spot basic step , the lady always mirrors the man by stepping back onto her right foot as he steps forward on his left 123 567 .

Notice that during the on the spot basic step , the lady brings her feet together like this 567 123 together and 567 123 together and 5671 last time .

123 .

Now let's look at the lady's progressive basic step .

56 left foot back from the beginning .

123 , right foot forwards , 567 , 1231235 , I return and go back 123 , left foot back right foot forwards , 567 , left foot back 123 , 567 .

As a couple , the couple can dance closely together like this .

The man's right hand is on his paws , left shoulder blade .

The hold should be quite loose .

The man begins by moving his left foot forward and the lady brings her right foot back .

This is the progressive basic step .

123 567 , 123567 .

The basic step can also be danced in an open position like this .

123 , 567 .

We are now going to show you an extremely important figure called the cross body lead .

This figure corresponds to the Cuban deque .

It enables you and your partner to move from one point to another .

The figure is performed twice here , going out first and then coming back , the man I bring my left foot forward , 23 , move out of the line of dance .

Go back on five , transfer my weight on six and do a quarter turn on seven again , 23 , 56 and seven .

I face my partner .

It is very important to move out of the line of dance at the end of the first bar by which I mean on 123 .

So that I give way to the lady , The lady steps watch how the lady as we pointed out before always follows the line of dance .

When she moves from one point to another 567 , she does a backward basic step 123 on five .

She brings her foot down , she turns on six and on seven , she brings her left foot back .

Now the return 567 one last time , 123 567 .

Now as a couple , the man moves out with his body weight to the left , whereas the lady's weight is to the right 567 .

Now the return 23 five , the lady goes forward six .

She turns again 123 567 567 .

It is extremely important to follow the line of dance because all the figures are designed to respect this principle .

We're now going to look at the right turn .

123 , five back 67 .

The man does his turn during the first bar 123 and on 567 .

He does a backward basic step again .

123567 .

As for the lady , she's going to turn on her left foot .

During the first bar , she does a backward basic step .

And during the second bar , she turns to the right again .

23 , I bring my foot down .

I turn and then I come back as a couple , the man lifts his arm to turn the lady to her right .

Then the man turns on two .

He has his back to his partner on three .

He faces her 567 123 .

His hand position held flat signals a right turn for the lady 67 .

Then the man turns changing his handhold so that he too can turn to the right 567 .

We will now go over the first part again , basic step .

A cross body lead , which can also be called a simple crossover .

And the return .

I am in the open position .

I do a basic step to prompt the lady's right turn .

My hand is quite flat above my partner .

A simple crossover .

Again , the return and a right turn by the man 567 .

Again , a basic step .

A cross body lead .

A 2nd 123 567 .

A right turn by the lady 567 .

The return another cross body lead 123 , I move out 567 open position and the man's right turn 567 .

We shall now look at the man's right turn in which he changes his handhold 567 and again one two and the change of handhold three 567 .

Now the caress one two , I move out three 567 .

I come back to my partner when I have finished again , one two three 567 , closed position .

One last time 567 .

We shall now look at the complete sequence .

Basic step 23567 .

A cross body lead .

The second one , a basic step in the open position .

A right turn by the lady .

I come back to my partner and then do another cross body lead .

The man does a right turn and then another right turn leading into a right turn by the lady .

Another right turn by the man with change of hand position and a lady's caress 23 and 567 .

Once again , a cross body lead .

Notice again that the man moves out of the line of dance .

He holds his hand flat to signal a right turn for the lady and comes back to her to do another cross body lead 123567 .

A right turn by the man .

Then the lady and then the man who brings his hand down and the sequence finishes with a caress and a return to the closed position .

Now to the music boy , he was asleep dumping .

What we're now going to look at the sequence for lesson two , a cross body lead , a cross body lead inside role and amana the circle , a series of caresses and the copper .

In this lesson , we are also going to cover shines .

These are Suzie Q and pointing and a return to the closed position , cross body lead inside role .

We're going to look first at a cross body lead in which the lady carries out a left turn .

This figure is the third essential , basic principle of Puerto Rican salsa .

First , the lady steps 123 , five , then a turn backward , basic step and she returns .

The lady does her left turn 67 with her back to her partner .

123 , she comes back to face her partner one more time .

First , a simple cross body lead and then a cross body lead inside role .

The lady gets ready on five turns on 67 123 .

Again , a cross body lead and a cross body lead inside role in slow motion , a simple crossover .

The lady gets ready to turn on beat five and will very often make her turn on the beat of six 123 and then 567 .

As a couple a basic step , a basic cross body lead 123 , the man changes his handhold to prompt his partner to turn to her left and they come back into the closed position one more time .

The change of handhold is very important here because it prepares the lady for a left turn on beat seven .

She has her back to her partner and then can easily return on 123 .

We are now going to look at the two handed Amana and the circle , a cross body lead and a left turn .

The man then changes his handhold .

He gets ready for the al mana here and then goes into the circle first , the man steps on three .

I get ready for my Amana 56 and seven .

The right foot crosses over a little in front of the left foot beginning again , 235 , I cross my foot over slightly .

I cross it over again , uncross it and bring my left foot back again .

123 , 567 , right foot forwards on eight Jette with my left foot , which is a possible variation here .

Let's look at it again .

123 , I get ready .

5678 , left foot Jette 123567 .

Now the lady steps 567 and again , 123 , she does a right turn 56 and on seven , she faces her partner 23 quarter turn , quarter turn , quarter turn .

And then again on the beta five , she does another quarter turn to complete her right turn , finishing with her feet together one more time .

567 .

Now the quarter turns 23 , completing her right turn and finishing facing her partner .

Now , as a couple , his hand held out flat signals to her that she will be turning to her right , which she does followed by the circle 123 567 .

Let's run through the cross body lead left turn again .

The man changes his handhold , gets ready for his amana completes it facing his partner at all times .

The lady turns him around until she's facing him and turns on the last bar 567 .

Let's watch it again .

In slow motion .

The man anticipates the Al Mana by changing his handhold .

It is followed by the circle 567 and we finish with our arms crossing over one another 567123567 .

Let's now run through the first part again .

First , the basic step .

A basic cross body lead .

A cross body lead with the lady going into a left turn .

The change of handhold , anticipating the al mana and the circle 567 .

One more time .

The cross body lead watch how the man changes his hand hold to prompt the lady's left , turn the man and the circle and I finish with my left arm over my right caresses are carried out in conjunction with the basic step .

As you can see , watch how the hands move , I move my left hand and then my right and the hand movement lasts for the whole four beat bar combined with the leg movements .

123567 .

Each caresse lasts four beats .

Watch the foot movements of the basic step .

Watch it carefully in slow motion .

1234567812345678 .

The copper on two , the man is once again going to move out of the line of dance so that the lady can pass through 567 .

He comes back into the line .

Watch carefully .

12 , I'm going to cross my right foot over and on three , I bring my feet together .

Five , I do a backward basic step six .

I come back and on seven , I face my partner along the line of dance .

12 , cross three together 56 and I return to face my partner 23567 .

The lady has her weight on her right foot .

She comes back and turns to her left again .

123 , 567 .

Once again , the lady does a half turn on 567 as a couple 567 in the copper .

The man goes back on his left foot .

His hand is at waist level and he signals that his partner should return again .

23 567 .

He pushes his partner very gently , comes back into position and takes her into her turn .

Let's go through it all again from the beginning .

And al Mana , the circle the series of caresses .

After the last caress , the man takes the lady's right hand , he draws back , pushing her gently at the same time .

123 , 567 .

Let's look at it again .

Summary of the second part , 123 , a basic step , a cross body lead , a cross body lead with a left turn by the lady .

The amana , the circle , a series of caresses .

Then the copper , the man brings his feet together before going into the copper , which is what happens in a number of other figures which start with a backward basic step .

Let's now look at the shines Suzie Q , I do a forward basic step on five .

I get ready for my shine like this and I then carry it out .

This shine is known as a Suzie Q 123 567 and a basic step to come out of the shine again .

A forward basic step .

I point my toes as I get ready , cross my left foot over , cross my right foot over in front of my left foot .

Now the Suzie Q itself 567 and a basic step to come out of the shine .

123 567 , 123 567 .

Then a basic step .

I face my partner 567123567 and do a basic step to come out of the shine .

Pointing on eight beats .

Now pointing , I get ready point my toes cross , cross again , 567 .

Notice that the man crosses his feet at the start .

I get ready for my shine .

Here I cross my feet , I uncross them .

I cross them , bringing my body weight over , cross uncross cross , bring my body weight over and I finish with a basic step .

Now , watch the sequence of the Suzie Q followed by the pointing 123567.123567 .

And a basic step to come out of the shines facing the partner 567123567.23567 and a basic step .

Now , the lady steps , the lady always does a basic step before she gets ready for her shine .

She finishes her preparation and moves into the Suzie queue in her turn 123 567 again , 123 .

A basic step 567 .

I get ready to do my shine in the same way as the man do a Suzie Q and then another and exit leading on my left foot .

They can , the lady always starts by doing a basic step which means that she is always four beats behind her partner and the man will therefore finish his shine earlier than she does 123 left foot forwards .

567 , 567 .

I get ready for the Suzie queue again .

Let's now look at pointing first .

A basic step 567 point cross cross again 567 123 and forward on the left foot to come out of the shine .

A basic step , the preparation for the shine 123 and now the shine itself 123 567 in slow motion point cross cross again 567 123 and forward on the left foot to come out of the shine .

I face my partner 123567 and the Shine 567 123567 567 .

Basic step preparation for the shine .

567123567123567 in slow motion again , 23 567 .

The lady does the Susie Hughes here followed by pointing , notice the twisting movement 123 and she moves forward on her left foot to come out of the shine one more time 567123 .

A Suzie Q 123 pointing the second one 567 .

Let's now see how this sequence works when the copper coming out of the copper to link the figures together .

The man does a forward basic step and he then prepares for his shine .

The lady in her turn prepares for hers .

The man has already completed his first Suzie Q 567 123 .

As the lady goes into her first pointing steps 567 .

The man comes out of his shine and then the lady follows suit 567 .

When the couple do shines , the shines are always staggered in this way .

The mans for Suzie Q , the ladies first , Suzie Q , the man's first pointing and the lady's first pointing .

The lady finishes her pointing and comes out of her shine by moving forward onto her left foot one more time .

Watch carefully how the shines follow on from one another .

The lady gets ready .

Does her first Suzie Que her second , her first pointing and her second , the man comes out of his shine and then the lady comes out of hers .

Let's now look at the complete sequence for lesson two , a basic step , a cross body lead , a cross body lead with a left turn , the amana , the circle , the caresses combined with the basic step , the copper and the shines .

When the man does his shines , he generally moves back during the second bar 567 in slow motion .

One more time , the man moves out of the line of dance .

The left turn , the al mana a right turn by the lady .

Simple caresses accompanied by the basic step by them .

Both then the copper now watch carefully how the man draws back before the shines .

The question is why and the reason is very simple .

It is because in most shines , although not all of them , there's a tendency to move towards your partner someone therefore has to take the initiative and the responsibility falls to the man and I finish in the closed position .

And now to the music for he was as sleep jumping since don't get busted .

Keep us the sale .

A this as we stuff is good for you .

He never said see me whisky daughter .

Let's now look at the lesson three sequence .

A simple cross body lead , a cross body lead turning to the left , a Puerto Rican style Caliente , a basic step in Caliente , a left turn by the lady followed by a caress , a basic step by the man .

The lady exiting in a left turn .

And here we see the copper using both hands with a left turn , exit .

Ladies , you can be grooving on the dance floor and they might be a guy who wants to come up and dance with you .

So we got tech coming in here .

Don't get scared if they look like that , right ?

So now the important thing here is if the lady is , you know , giving you clues that she wants to dance with you guys , you wanna follow the lady's lead , right ?

You don't wanna be doing something completely crazy that she's not doing because then she's gonna go , all right , you can go sit down or she's gonna go sit down , which I think is even worse to be left on the dance floor , right ?

So we're gonna go , we're gonna use our body rolls .

This is a nice effective way to grind , right ?

And it's still safe .

You can still have your own space .

I change my hand , hold on the beat of seven to carry out the Caliente which finishes here .

A basic step into the Caliente and the lady's left turn , she goes forward diagonally on her left foot , transfers her weight from her left foot to her right , turns her back on her partner and then the man does a caress .

Let's run through it again .

A basic cross body lead .

The change of handhold on beat seven , the Caliente 567 and the basic step .

Let's watch it again in slow motion .

First , the basic cross body lead followed by the cross body lead with the lady's left turn .

The Caliente which begins here and finishes here on the beat of one .

The man lifts his hand up and the lady makes a left turn .

Watch the arm movement suggested by the man .

The left turn , we're now going to watch the outside turn with the lady doing a left turn first and then another done by the man and a simple crossover .

The man's steps are nothing more than those of cross body lead .

He then does his left turn a half turn one more time , 123567 .

Then comes his left turn .

He turns his back on his partner and then comes back to face her in slow motion .

If you're familiar with the person , you wanna be closer , you can grab or you can have your own little groove just together , right ?

Ladies , if you wanna turn , you can face your partner , the guy might clue you in that he wants to do a little bit of the leading .

He wants to take your arm and turn you back to him and means maybe , oh , I like the way she dances , you know , I wanna keep dancing some more .

Right .

So , here we go .

How to grind .

Let's try with music .

There you have it .

How to grind .

The lady turns first and then the man watch how the lady turns and then the man , the turns are made one after the other , the copper with both hands .

Now the copper finishing in a left turn by the lady 567 , the lady's left turn starts here , watch carefully .

123 .

The lady does a half turn and completes her left turn on 567 .

She begins again , 123 and finishes facing her partner once again , five left foot forward , six , I turn seven 123 .

Then a forward basic step body weight to the right 56 turn .

I have my back to my partner .

12 and three .

As a couple , 123 , you will have noticed that the man goes back onto his left foot on the first beat , making his partner turn using his left hand .

Watch it again .

I come back , pushing my partner at the same time using both hands to guide her 567 .

Let's now sum up the first part , a basic step , a cross body lead , a cross body lead with a left turn .

The Puerto Rican version of the Caliente , the two handed left turn by the lady , the man's caress .

Then a left turn by the lady to come out of the figure , followed by a left turn by the man .

123567 , a simple cross body lead the change of handhold .

A basic step arms crossed over to carry out the copper , followed by the lady's free spin to the left .

Once again in slow motion , a cross body lead a cross body lead with a left turn by the lady .

The change of hand , hold on the beat of seven .

The Caliente , the lady's left turn , watch the man's arm movements .

The lady does a left turn , followed by a left turn by the man 567 .

I move my hand underneath so that I can do the copper .

I bring my feet together and then go into the copper itself .

67 123 and 567 .

Suzie Q in two times eight beats .

We shall now look at the same shines which we saw earlier .

But this time , the Suzie Q will be done eight times to the right and eight times to the left followed by a basic step to come out of the shine once more in slow motion , the man can make his movements more twisted as well and a forward basic step to come out of the shine one more time on five .

I get ready .

4567 1234567 and a basic step 123567 12345671234567 and 567 .

Now , the lady steps , she does a basic step as we saw before before getting ready for her shine .

Now she carries it out to the left 567 and we can see that the lady does not emphasize the four beats 567812356781235671 more time in slow motion .

And you can see that the lady does not put any emphasis on the beat of four 123 5678123 and 567 again , 567 .

Basic step .

I get ready for my shine .

The Suzie Q eight times to the right and eight times to the left .

And I finish with a forward basic step on the left foot , double right turn .

Watch the lady's double right turn .

Now , this is really quite a difficult step .

Again .

12 , I get ready .

567 .

The double turn isn't easy watch carefully in the double turn .

The lady brings her left foot over towards her right and then turns twice and a backward basic step 567 .

Let's now watch the complete sequence for lesson three , a cross body lead , a cross body lead with the lady's left turn the Caliente , the exit from the Caliente going into the left turn , the man's caress all done along the line of dance .

The lady's left turn followed by a cross body lead and the two handed copper now comes the Suzie Hugh shine in this shine .

The man doesn't move back into the usual position so that his partner can do her , Suzie Q and then comes into the lady's double turn .

Let's go over it again in slow motion .

A basic cross body lead another with a left turn , a Puerto Rican style Caliente , a basic step .

I take a hand on one .

The lady makes a left turn .

She then makes another left turn , followed by the man's left turn .

A simple crossover .

And then the preparation for the copper with the man bringing his feet together than the copper itself .

A left turn by the lady .

The shine and the return , the man comes out of the shine four beats ahead of his partner .

The lady then does a double turn and returns to the closed position .

Now to the music voice , the he was asleep jumping .

They're not , don't get busted .

He never said a yes , yes .

We the risk for you .

We're now going to watch the sequence for less than four .

This lesson is a little bit more difficult although it contains certain figures from the previous lesson , but they are presented a little differently .

The circle for instance , which is shown here in which the man brings his right hand down .

This is a double caress followed by a basic cross body lead and a simple caress followed by a left turn by the lady crossover Kuras with a shine , a shake , a copper , followed by a lady's left turn and then another shine jets .

A copper again , followed by a held left turn .

Hello and welcome .

My name is Ruben Edwards and I'm a hip hop dancer instructor and choreographer straight out of New York .

And in today's lesson , I'll be teaching you the fundamental steps of hip hop dance .

In today's lesson , we'll be doing the hip hop , bounce the two step the and one some all movements and a bunch of other things .

So definitely come with me , join me .

Let's have some fun .

Let's get up , get our sweats on and let's let's party peace .

All right , here we are .

Again , we're still sticking with that two step .

However , we gonna add another variation to it and keep in mind once again , when it comes to hip hop dancing , there's always gonna be variations for every one movement .

You can do think about adding three variations to that and to each of those three , you can add another three variations to that .

So actually hip hop dance is somewhat limitless .

It's only limited by your creativity .

Alright , so let's try this one .

We're gonna try a little different movement .

Now it's gonna be , it's gonna be , it's gonna be kind of slick .

Just stick with me here .

All right .

So let's take it from the basic , you're gonna go 123 .

This time we're gonna do it three times .

So it's 123 , that same two step .

However we add , and what we're gonna add is what we , what I call a slide .

So it's the two step slide .

So you're gonna go 123 from your three , you're gonna push off or , or rather you're gonna take a big step to your right and slide the left .

Let's try that .

Try that again .

You're gonna step 123 at this point .

All your weight is on your left .

Ok ?

From here , your right foot steps out big step and you pull all your weight becomes all your weight is then distributed on the right foot and you pull the left .

Let's try it again .

So you have one , keep the camera with me because it's gonna be quick .

Now , here we go .

123 , four right there .

Did you catch that ?

So , basically from here , what you're doing here , you're gonna step out slide right there .

All right .

Let's try that one more time coming from here .

What happens all the , all the way right here is on your left , which is behind you , the right steps out here and it's all it happens all instantaneous as soon as that right hits all your weight is transferred to the right foot and the left foot just slides .

So let's try that again .

A little faster .

So you're here , you're gonna use this to push , push off with this leg from here .

You're gonna push , push , you push off with your left or rather your right and you step with your left .

So it's step and you push at the same time , it's almost like you kind of push yourself back .

Now , let's put that together .

So we have 123 and 45 , six , 78 and 12345678 .

And that is the slide , but hold on .

Let's try with music so they can see what it looks like in real time , right ?

Remember we're doing our basic step .

Just this smooth cool .

You're not gonna hit him yet with it .

Alright , just take your time .

You're ready to get into it .

Here we go .

56 .

Here we go .

56 78123 .

Slide 123 , slide 123 , slide 123 slide boom .

There you go .

123 quarter turn to the right 56 , another quarter turn to the left crossing my right foot over to come out of the shine .

And I now come back to face my partner 567 123 .

I cross my left foot in front of my right and then my right foot in front of my left .

As I do the quarter turns 567 and come back to face my partner facing my partner 567 .

The Kura watch the arm movements and facing my partner again .

Now the lady steps again .

She does a basic step before getting ready for her shine and she begins her shine right now .

She also makes a quarter turn to the right and then to the left and comes back to face her partner as she comes out of her shine .

Once again , 567 , she prepares for her shine on 123 .

Then come the cooks the first one and then the second because she has made the quarter turns , she no longer faces her partner again .

123567 .

She gets ready for her shine .

23 crossover aches six seven watching in slow motion 567 123 .

I face my partner and I come out 567 .

The second part of the basic step preparation for the shine and the crossover .

You can see that she's not facing her partner when she does the cooker ras but is to the side of him .

As a couple , the man initiates the shine .

And the lady then does the same 567 , finishing her shine four beats later than the man .

One more time .

The lady gets ready for her shine .

She's seen the man doing a Kura and so she in turn will also do .

It is not quite as clear as this in practice one last time in slow motion .

567 , the lady is still doing her last as the man comes out of his shine .

567 .

Now let's look at the shake .

The man a backward basic step 567 .

The man has his knees together here with his body weight equally distributed .

He then prompts his partner to do a turn .

Let's look at it again .

567 .

The man does the shake with his body weight centrally balanced , followed by a backward basic step during which the lady turns .

Let's run through it again .

The shake is characterized by the fact that the body weight is central and the knees are close together one more time .

567123 .

And the lady turns on the last bar .

Now , the lady steps , she makes her turn here and brings her feet together .

123 .

She's facing her partner and she then does a right turn 123 again .

56 turn seven on the beat of one .

I bring my feet together three and 567 .

Right turn 5671 .

My knees are slightly bent , 23 and the right turn one last time .

567 , I bring my feet together , bending my knees slightly because the man has indicated that I should do so .

And I finish with a right turn .

Watch it now danced by the couple together .

The man touches the lady's left shoulder .

This is a signal for her to pause and now the right turn again .

123 .

The man touches the lady's shoulder lightly with his left hand .

Watch carefully .

567 .

The man moves out of the line of dance and comes back into it as the lady is turning , summing up this part basic step , cross body lead with a left turn by the lady .

The circle with the man's right hand down the double caress in the cross body lead a simple caress followed by the lady's left turn .

The Shines Crossover .

The shake followed by the lady's right turn .

Let's run through it again in slow motion .

Viewed from a different angle .

It's easier to appreciate the finer details which we pointed out before the circle 123 567 , the double caress , which is much faster than the single one where the lady finishes with a left turn .

Now the shine , the man has moved back because there's a tendency for the couple to move forwards during this shine and they have to finish at a reasonable distance from one another .

Now the sheikh in which the man moves out of the line of dance and then takes his partner into a turn .

Let's now look at the copper in profile and the lady's left turn .

The man goes into a left turn here , watch carefully on the beat of six .

He holds his hand up facing the lady .

If he did this any earlier , the lady might think he meant another figure .

It's therefore very important to make the sign on the correct beat on five .

I push my partner gently on six .

I make a turn and she then completes the movement on her own 123567 567 .

We are now going to see another shine known as Jet Basic step 23 .

Preparation for the Jets .

12345678 .

This shine is particularly difficult because every beat is stressed .

Watch carefully .

567 12345678 .

The four and eight beats are stressed , which means that the shine is not quite as easy as the ones we've seen before .

567 , one more time 23567 .

Jette Cross on Cross Jette cross on cross and cross again 5678123 and 567 .

The lady does a basic step before preparing for her shine .

I do a cross on cross cross again and come out of the shine .

123567 123 .

I get ready four five six seven eight one two three and I finish 567 123567123 .

And the shine .

I do a and another one and come back to face my partner as a couple basic step 567812345678123567 .

One more time the lady starts her shine four beats later than the man .

12345678 123567 in slow motion .

Every beat is stressed in this particular shine .

I come out of the shine 123 and the lady does the same following on from crossover Kur RAAS this time 567 567 .

The sheikh the two handed copper .

I hold my hand out over the top the 567812345678123567 .

One more time .

Crossover Karras , I hold my right hand out to my partner to do the shake .

Then the two handed copper .

A basic step could have been done here as usual .

Then the 1235678 , we're now going to look at the copper followed by a wrist catch and a lady's left .

Turn 123567 .

1st , the man steps , this copper is essentially the same as before except that the man crosses over the line of dance so that he's on the lady's left watch carefully .

567 .

He moves his left foot diagonally .

123 , brings his feet together and does a backward basic step onto his right foot .

123 , brings his feet together and does a backward basic step onto his right foot .

The man moves out of the line of dance crosses , it turns to the right and then takes his partner's hand again to make her turn as a couple 567123567 .

In this figure , the man appears to catch the lady's hand as if it was something which had been thrown to him .

567123 and 567 .

One more time in slow motion , the man moves out of the line of dance crosses it so that he's on his partner's left hand side and then catches hold of his partner's wrist to make her turn .

Let's run through the whole sequence again .

A simple crossover a cross body lead followed by a left turn .

The circle , the double caresses , a simple caress .

The first shine crossover the shake right hand to right hand , the copper , the second shine .

678 , the copper again and the lady's left turn now to the music boy , he was asleep jumping .

Hey , no , you keep this acid .

Mr This the last we stuff is good .

What can never say ?

Say that me love a schedule hit on .

Yes , we've now come to the fifth and last lesson .

This section is particularly challenging .

It can however contain figures which will give you a solid foundation for moving on to the second level of the beginners course and the intermediary level one .

This lesson is unlike the previous ones and both the figures presented and the shines are at a higher level .

You should therefore make sure that you have completely mastered each movement before you go on to the next one .

This is the butterfly , Suzie Q which is another shine as you can see the couple are side by side .

Whereas up to now we've been more or less facing one another .

But as you will see everything is possible in Caliente , followed by a man's left turn .

We begin with the Caliente and the ladies outside turn a simple crossover .

A Caliente followed by a left turn by the man during which he takes the lady's hand again .

Let's now look at it in detail .

A cross body lead with a left turn by the lady , a cross body lead with a left turn by the lady .

I then do a Caliente here .

I've scarcely finished it before I touch my partner's left shoulder , bringing her into the turn mainly by using my left hand .

And as I do a left turn , I'm going to take the lady's right hand again , I have to move very quickly .

Let's go through it again .

A basic step .

A cross body lead again with the lady then doing a left turn and a Caliente giving the impression that the lady's hand has been thrown to me , the left turn from another angle and we finish with our arms crossed over , watch the man's left hand , the lady's caress and how I take my partner's other hand as I turn , let's look at it again .

567123567123567 .

Now , we will look at another figure called the wave here .

The lady finishes with a free spin to the left on the beat of five .

The lady almost turns her back completely on her partner and she then goes into a left turn .

The figure gives the impression of a wave .

The lady stays along the line of dance and then turns to her left , finishing by bringing her right foot forward in a forward basic step .

Once again in slow motion , her right shoulder turns a little towards the front and on five , she leads with her left shoulder , she then makes a left turn and finishes by going forward on her right foot to execute a forward basic step and returning to face her partner as a couple .

In this case , the left turn is not a free spin , but another possible variant on 123 , the man leads his partner with his right arm and on 567 with his left arm .

Let's now look at the lady's left turn , followed by the man's hammerlock position .

The man's right hand is on the lady's waist to guide her into the term .

We're going to look at it again from another angle .

567 , the man turns to the right , takes the lady by the waist and turns her on the beat of six one more time so that we can study the move in detail .

I take hold of my partner's waist as she comes forward on the beat of five and guide her into the turn on the following beat once more in slow motion .

123 and 567 .

Summary of the first part , summing up the first part , we have a basic step , a cross body lead with a left turn .

The ladies left turn in this last part , the lady will bring her hands and arms into play much more if she thinks it's appropriate .

It's not a case of giving an impression but of really doing it a second time seen from the other side for Caliente , I gently touch my partner's shoulder as a signal to turn .

Now , the waist and the lady's left turn .

This is another shine .

But unlike the previous ones , we've seen , the lady's steps this time are different from those of the man .

It's called the heel and ball flat .

The man uses his heels on 123 , 123 , the ball of his foot 67 .

During the first bar .

In each case , the man needs to be able to keep his balance because his body weight is resting entirely on his heels .

Once more , 23 567 .

By pivoting on his heels , he can give the shine even more style and this will become even more apparent when the couple dance to the music .

Now watch the lady steps .

She stays on the balls of her feet for this shine and doesn't go up onto her heels , although there's nothing to stop her doing so if she wants to , she then finishes with a basic step 567 .

Again 123 , basic step 67 .

She prepares to do her shine , takes two steps on the walls of her feet and back 123567 in this shine .

The feet are a little apart .

123 567 .

Now the preparation for the shine 567 , 123 567 .

Finishing with a basic step let's now watch the couple dancing together .

The man leads and the lady follows the man does his shine first and then the lady does hers .

123567 .

The moonshine also differs from the ladies in terms of the arm movements .

Watch it again in slow motion .

123 .

The lady lift her arms up to stroke her hair and the man has time to come back to her and adopt a closed position .

Reviewing this second part , we have a Caliente with a left turn , exit the wave , the lady's left turn and then the heel and ball flat shine .

And I calmly come back to my partner and adopt a closed position .

Let's now look at the hammerlock position .

This is how it is .

I come out of the hammerlock position so that I can make my partner go into a turn .

I come back to her with my left arm on top and her arms crossed first , the man steps first .

There is a basic step .

Then I move to the left , leaving the line of dance and I come back into it by stepping onto my left foot like this .

Then the hammerlock position .

One , two , three .

I'm now almost on the line of dance .

67 and a backward basic step .

Let's run through it again .

In slow motion .

I get ready for the figure .

Carry it out .

Move out of the line of dance .

Come back into it on my left foot and then do a backward basic step .

Now the couple dancing together , I prepare the lady's right turn and it finishes in the hammerlock .

I come out of the line of dance with my arm held high .

I bring my arm down to make my partner turn one more time .

567 , the man leaves the line of dance with his left arm held up .

He then brings it down to the lady's waist to make her go into her turn .

We're now going to look at the butterfly .

Suzie Q A number of different figures have been developed using this particular movement which could be considered to be a basic step .

First .

The man steps 56 , 1st , he moves to the right and then to the left , right , then left and he finishes with a backward basic step on his right foot one more time .

567 123567 123 567123567 .

The lady makes a turn to her left .

She then goes into a Suzie queue 567123 .

She turns on 567 once again in slow motion , 567 right foot Suzie Q 123 and again , and she turns on 567 .

Now I'll see the couple dancing it together .

The man takes the lady's hands above each wrist , her arms point downwards in line with her shoulders and the turn follows on beats six and seven .

Notice how the lady twists .

Once again , 567 , the club will come back together in a closed position from the side .

567 , the lady's arms point downwards and must be quite firm so that the man can carry out the Suzie Q .

This figure is difficult because the man must be able to communicate the movements he wants his partner to make and this depends on her , keeping her arms firm and having the correct posture .

The figure ends with a basic step which brings the couple back together , viewed in slow motion .

You can see how the lady's posture is firm , which makes it possible to do the movement correctly .

Summary of the third part after the lady's left turn comes the heel and ball flat .

I then come back to the lady with my hands paralleled to adopt a hammerlock position .

She moves out and I take hold of her left hand from above and lead her into the last figure .

We just saw 123567 .

Let's watch the same sequence in slow motion .

The man turns to his right .

Then the shine , the couple come back together and the man's hands are parallel , they then adopt the hammerlock position .

Then the man takes her left hand from above and this is followed by the butterfly .

Suzie Q 567123567 .

And the lady turns , we're now going to look at another shine , which is a Suzie Q followed by a kick .

The lady and the man in this case , stand side by side first , the man steps a forward basic step .

I cross over behind and do a quarter turn so that my partner is by my side .

As I'm doing a Suzie Q , I do a cross on cross and I then repeat the sequence .

1234567 .

The lady does a basic stamp makes a quarter turn on her right foot .

The Suzie Q she kicks and then starts again the Suzie Q the cake and she then comes back to her partner who's already signaled the end of the shine .

567 .

I cross my right foot behind 5678123 , 5678123 .

And I come out of the shine using a forward basic step on my left foot one last time , 567 cross behind do the Suzie Q 8123 .

Suzie Q 5678123 .

And I come back to face my partner .

Now the couple dancing together , the lady moves to the side as well and they both do the shine one more time .

The man begins to shine right now and the lady gets ready and does it .

Now the man comes back to face his partner and the lady finishes her shine .

The same principle of one shine following the other always applies .

We'll now show you the complete sequence for this lesson .

Again , a cross body lead with the lady going into a left turn , a Caliente followed by a left turn by the man holding his partner by both hands , the wave , the man bringing his hand down to his partner's waist .

The first shine coming back with his hands parallel to adopt the hammerlock position .

I now move out of the line of dance and come back with arms crossed over to go into the butterfly , Suzie Q 123 and 567 .

And I go on to do the last shine which we've just seen 4567123567 .

I then move quite calmly back into the closed position .

The sequence from the beginning again in slow motion , the lady always remains on the line of dance .

If she does happen to move out of it slightly , she soon comes back again .

It's the wave for the man .

It's very different since he has to move out of the line of dance to carry out the various figures successfully .

This is the heel and ball flat shine and the hammerlock position .

Now the butterfly Suzie Q , the man leading his partner to the left and then to the right .

And the last Chi is the Suzie Q followed by a kick .

You may notice a small variation when the couple dance together and now to the music was he was asleep .

Stop it .

If they don't get busted .

He miss the said , is this the last wee still is good for him .

He never see me .

Love .

Is your daughter hit on Jesus this ?
