Magic-Drop Hands with Copa (In-Out)

So, we sort of rushed this episode out the door. Hopefully we will find some time to actually make an episode with some organization behind it. In this episode of the salsa podcast, we show you how to do some "magic hands drop", a quick hammerlock to a cross-body lead, and then to a copa for the ladies.

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.
