Basic Salsa Dance Hammerlock Hand Flick

In this addicted2salsa salsa dance video lesson we teach you the a very basic salsa dance hand flick coming out of a "hammerlocked" cross body lead. We also provide a quick salsa leg flick to add some additional men's styling to the salsa dance move. We consider this an intermediate move, so please be careful at the club trying to pull this off, since doing it without proper timing and technique, it could hurt your partner. Keep dancing!

Practice tip

Practice this material with counts first and music second. Once the rhythm feels steady, add expression without letting the timing drift.

Why this helps on the social floor

Stronger rhythm awareness helps every other part of salsa. Even if the move itself is simple, better timing makes the whole dance look calmer and more confident.
