- Episode : 7
- Published: Jan 26 2006
- Difficulty: Beginner
Well, we have another Episode of Addicted2Salsa. Another shot at Hotel Fort Des Moines (Iowa for those who are wondering where we are from). We teach you a simple double-handed turn using the same principles as leading a right turn â and then teach you a slick little combo for switching hands as a starter for any other combos you might learn in your life!
Again, sorry for the low-budget filming - we do accept donations!
Practice tip
Start small and organized. Better posture, cleaner preparation, and calmer head placement will improve your turns faster than trying to spin harder.
Why this helps on the social floor
On the social floor, control matters more than quantity. One stable, well-prepared turn is usually more effective than multiple rushed ones.
Pocket Salsa App
Practice salsa between classes with step-by-step lessons, timing drills, and partnerwork training.
