the boy her right arm.
The boy should gently
place the right arm on
the left shoulder
blade of the girl

4. Step 2: In this dance,
the boy is the leader
and the girl is the
follower. The boy
initiates by putting
his left foot straight in
front and transferring
the weight to the left
foot whereas the girl
takes her right foot
back and transfers
her weight to the
right foot.

same position where
we started but
transfer your weight
again. So the boy

the girl to the right
foot. Here you may
look as if you are
standing still.

7. Step 5: This step does
not exist in the literal
sense. Salsa counts go
as follows 1, 2, 3...5,
6, 7. That means that
the 4 and the 8 are
silent and are not to
be counted or danced
on.

8. Step 6, 7 and 8: These
will be the same as
steps 1, 2 and 3 but in
reverse. The girl
brings her left foot in
front and the boy
takes his right foot
back. Eventually, they
reach the start
position.
