This episode will teach everyone the basic cross body lead in salsa dancing. For most of you, this will be a very essential move to pull-off some of the other complicated combinations. In addition, we add some styling techniques to make your cross body leads better for both men and women!

Practice tip

Build the structure first, then add styling. The styling layer should make the move look more musical, not make the timing harder to follow.

Why this helps on the social floor

In real dancing, styling should support the partnership and the music. Use the cleanest moments from the lesson and keep them proportional to the space you have.
