Ooh! Great job, you did it! You're actually dance to salsa music and we dance the basics together and you've probably noticed, it was really fun, and we're just getting started. I mean, it's going to get so much more fun, but you've also probably noticed -- where is my partner? We don't have a follower on stage, you are right. This is a two person dance with the most part, and we haven't focused yet on the ladies, otherwise known as followers.
Now we're going to breakdown those terms later, but for now I want to show the ladies their basic steps. So I would like to invite on stage my partner Sharon, who is going to demonstrate the salsa basic steps for the followers.
First, she is going to do it facing the camera then she is going to do it facing away from the camera.
So here is what we're re going to do. Ladies, you're going to start the basic going back on your right foot, that is back on your right foot for the count of one, one, then replace your weight on your left foot for the count of two, two and bring your feet together shift away for the count of three, three.
Now, you probably already know this, but we're going to say it again. Your basic step is the exact same as the basic step we demonstrated before, the only difference is that you step back on your right foot on the count of one. So let's try that again.
Ladies, you start the basic going back on your right foot on the count of one. Let's do it. Ready and one, two, three you come forward on your left, five, six, seven. Again, one, two, three, five, six, seven again. One, two three, five, six, seven again. One, two three, five, six, seven.
Now Sharon will turn out, we're going to show the same thing from the back. Lady stepping back on the right foot, ready. One, two three, five, six, seven. Again, One, two three, five, six, seven. Again, one, two three, five, six, seven, keep going. One, two three, now notice, she keeps her hands up at her waist, always a neutral position, where the leader could get them if they wanted.
So make sure you keep those hands up at your sides. One, two three, five, six, stop. Now that's a great job. So what we're going to do, is we are going to dance the basic step together, right now. You guys did fantastic, let's get to the real, close basic step with your partner, right now!
