>> Nicole: Welcome to Dance Papi. My name is Nicole Lazo, and my partner for the day
is Chris Penales. Today we're going to be learning the salsa basic right turn for the
followers and leaders. We'll do it together. We're going to have the left foot go forward
on one, and then we're going to pivot two, and then take the right foot and squeeze in
for three. Right now this is the leaders timing. We're going to go forward again, forward do
a half turn to the right, and then squeeze with the left foot into the right.
Once you get to where you started you're right foot is going to go back, back, replace, and
step. Do it again. We're going to go forward, pivot, and all the way around. Then we're
going to go back, replace, and step. We'll do a side profile one. We're going to forward
with the left foot, half turn to our right, finish up the right turn, then take the right
foot and go back, replace, forward. As you're doing it as the follower, so just
for the ladies, the timing looks like this: we're going to go back at the count of one,
so it's going to be one, two, three. Then we're going to step into our turn on five,
pivot for six, then come around for seven. Then we'll go back again for our next basic,
one, two, three. Go forward, five, six, seven. Fast it looks like this: one, two, three,
five, six, seven. Same thing for the leader, just opposite timing.
As the guy goes forward for the one he's going to go right into his turn, pivot on two, squeeze
on three, then head back, five, six, seven. He goes forward for the turn, pivot on two,
squeeze for three, then head back, five, six, seven. A little faster it looks like this:
one, two, three, five, six, seven. One more time, one, two, three, and five, six, seven.
As you're doing it with your partner go ahead and frame up in close position, so the right
hand on the lady's shoulder blade, left arm on top, connect with the opposite hand. Leaders,
you are in charge of leading all her turns. As you go forward, for your one, two, three,
you're going to raise your left hand on the count of three and drop the right hand from
her back all at the same time. Let's try that again. It's going to be one, two, three, the
hand goes up. This is the signal that she'll be turning on the count of five. Ladies, don't
turn yet until he actually turns you. Leaders, as you go back for your basic step,
you are going to take the left hand and do a circle around her head. Ladies we're going
to go out for our turn: five, six, seven. When we get to the end, lower the hand leaders,
reconnect into your next basic - one, two, three. Leaders, you're in charge of a lot.
Raise the hand on three, one, two, three, finish your basic with your right foot and
turn her on five, six, seven, reconnect. Ladies, once we get here do not step back
without your partner. Wait for him to go forward and then you can step back for your new basic.
That's to have the lady do her right turn. Leaders, to do your right turn you are initiating
it on the count of one. You're going to step forward and do your turn, you're going to
let go of the right hand and raise your left hand. One, two, three, and then you're going
to go back, five, six, seven. Ladies, as he's turning we're just doing a basic step.
Guys start it when you're ready. One, two, three, and then back, five, six, seven. The lady
always turns on five, the leader always turn on one. We'll do a turn for the lady, a basic
step, and a turn for the leader. One, two, three, she'll turn. Five, six, seven, basic
step. One, two, three, five, six, here he goes. One, two, three, and basic step. Five, six, seven.
We're going to do it with music now. Leaders,
you're going to go forward on the count of one. Ladies, we're going back on the count
of one. We'll do one basic, and then a right turn for the ladies. Five, six, seven, basic.
One, two, three, five, six, seven. Guys, raise the hand on the count of three, she'll turn,
five, six, seven, lower and reconnect. A good tip is not to do too many spins over and over
again. Give her a couple basics, and when you're ready you can raise the hand and give
her the turns. Here we go, one, two, up, five, six, seven.
One, two, three. Leaders, whenever you want to turn it's up to you. You can initiate it
always on the count of one. As you step forward you can turn: one, two, three, five, six,
seven. Guys go ahead again, five six, seven, one, two, three, five, six, seven. We'll give
the lady a turn, we'll do the basic step and then we'll get the guy to turn. Here we go:
one, two, three, five, six, basic. One, two, three, five, six, guys. One, two, three, five,
six, seven. If you ever want to put those together you
just take out the basic and you have alternating right turns. The lady will go first and then
the guy will go. One, two, three, five, six, guys. One, two, three. If you want to do that
you have to go at the same time. Right after her right turn you're going to go on the one.
Let's try that again. Five, six, seven, one, two, three, five, six, leader turn, one, two,
three, five, six, seven. Let's do it one more time. Five, six, go. One, two, three, five,
six, seven. One, two, three, and five, six, seven.
