The Salsa Swing Step

This salsa dance lesson video we teach you what is called the Salsa Swing step or the Lazy Turn. It is a small variation of the Lindy-Hop or Swing dance basic step adapted to salsa dancing. It is a great move to use when, as a leader, you are still thinking which set of dance patterns to perform next.

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.
