Salsa Dancing Lesson #62! In this salsa dance lesson we show you a sneaky hammerlock hand trick that you can use at the salsa dance club to keep your dance moves fresh! It is performed by doing a reverse copa hammerlock, into a quick hand flip. The song used in this lesson is "El Cazanguero" by Ruben Blades.

Practice tip

Practice the move in sections and keep the connection controlled and precise. Once the setup and transitions feel obvious, the pattern becomes much easier to use socially.

Why this helps on the social floor

Save the full version for moments when the floor and the partnership can support it, and use the cleanest section first.
