Hi! Welcome to WatchMojo.com. My name is Saundra Diardichuk, and I am your host for today. I am going to teach you some ballroom dance steps. With the current hot ballroom dance craze in all the reality shows, namely Dancing With The Stars, Couple Dancing is once again cool.
Dances such as Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Samba, Rumba, Salsa, Merengue and Paso Doble are not only cool, but a lot of fun. So today you're going to learn a little bit of salsa. So I am going to show you three salsa basics and I have Dave here, my dance partner that's going to help us out a little bit.
The first basic step we're going to do is the forward back-step, the second one is the side break, and the third one is the back break. So we're going to do a demonstration and then I will break it down for you.
So here we go, forward and back. We do, quick, quick, slow, and quick, quick, slow. One more time, rock step together and rock step together.
The second basic step is sign break, so we go quick, quick slow and quick, quick slow. Again, quick, quick slow and quick, quick, slow.
The third one is the back break. This one is a little tricker, you're just going to take a very small step back and open up your shoulder just a little bit.
Dave starts with his left going back and I am going to start with my right foot going back. Here we go, rock step and center, rock step, center. Now what we can do here is also let go of one hand, so Dave is going to let go of his left and I am going to let go of my right. We go, quick, quick slow, quick, quick slow. Again quick, quick slow, and quick, quick slow.
