This intermediate salsa dance video lesson of addicted2salsa ( www.addicted2salsa.com/videos ), we go back to the basics to help you learn how to do a 180° Cross Body Lead with a Turn (*a few others call this the Coca Cola move). We first start off refreshing you what a Cross Body Lead with a Turn looks like and from there add-on the extra dance steps required to do a half-revolution. Getting the 180 degree cross body lead will help build the salsa framework for you to execute the 360 cross body lead - which will show you in a future episode.

Anthony is a very intelligent guy, who knows how to incorporate the concepts of physics into salsa dancing. I actually have the cultural awareness and blood thing working for me in salsa, but I also have good physics knowledge and have to commend Anthony for his appropriate use of the concepts of physics.

I love your videos and the way you explain all the moves. I startd on 1 than on 2 which is the one I dance most of the time now but since I started teaching recently I realized that on 2 is much harder for beginners. So for that purpose I'll start teaching on 1 again. Your vidoes really help refresh my memory. Thank you Guys!

@addicted2salsa 15 жыл бұрын

Yes, you could start on count 8 as long as it doesn't affect the follow's timing while she's rotating. However, getting to the 'slingshot' earlier causes you to lose a bit of momentum (since you finish earlier and the slingshot does not happen right away out of the rotation). Note that USING COUNT 8 is what will help you do a 360 in the future.

You could start this move on count 8 as long as it doesnt affect the follows timing while shes rotating (if done improperly, it will cause her to shuffle her feet to keep up with you - not very pleasant for her). Doing it on 8 will help you get to the slingshot part earlier - however, that will cause you to lose a bit of momentum because, since you finish earlier, you cannot immediately use the force generated from the rotation because you have to wait 1 count before continuing.

Stepping forward with your left foot on2 is Puerto Rican style - which it called 'Dancing on Men's Timing'. In NY style, (as politeness to our ladies), men start back with the right on count 2 (called "Ladie's Timing"). Note that the steps are exactly the same - it is just a matter on how you start. Either timing is interchangeable.

@Ilovesalsa98 15 жыл бұрын

@jayroo10 what you mean is on2 "palladium style" also known as "power on 2". Anthony and Julie are dancing to the on2 "mambo-tipico". Both are breaking on2. Breaking means the direction changes. The main difference is the "pause". "Power on2" starts with left foot forward. The counts are breaking on2,3,4,pause,breaking on 6,7,8,pause. Nice to dance because you can feel the conga ("bum bum") better. This on2 starts with left foot backward on1,breaking on2,3,pause,5,breaking on 6,7,pause. cheers

Search for a few Milton Cobo videos and watching rotate around the girl (the girl being the pivot point) for a full 360 degree rotation. The problem is that most people count the final 'cross-body' lead as part of 360, but that is incorrect, Cross-Body lead is a LINEAR movement (on a slot), not a ROTATIONAL one (around an axis).

We dance the introduction of the video in On2 timing (Eddie Torres / NY Style), we explain the move in On1 timing and do it at the very end again for the On2 counts. Please note that the cross-body leads are happening on count 2, which is a clear indication we are dancing On2 (clave). When dancing On1, the cross-body lead happens on count 5.

@bolexico 15 жыл бұрын

"rubber band" effect, as u call it, is fun when dancing. lol. i also thought of the girls' styling not only for styling, but for the girl to be able to get her arm out of a knot. an example would be that if she didn't raise her arm while being spun, her arm would be closed in during the actual cross body lead itself, instead of her raising the arm on1 or on6 and having the arm be in the correct place and more free during the cross body lead. just my thoughts...hope that made sense:/ great video!

maybe worth pointing out that the girl pushing her left hand up on 1 (in the middle of this turn) isn't just optional styling. Many of the followers I know aren't used to putting their LH up at the end of a CBL inside turn - in which case this move won't work...

I like these videos, but one big thing here that is confusing me is the very last step "1". His left foot is back on "1" where as it is usually forward. Is there a transition after that or do you continue on doing the counts with the opposite leg?

@epr8974 7 жыл бұрын

In this move the momentum usually carries you backwards. You can just do the first three steps with the left foot backwards and then go back into your normal basic. There are also a few moves that start with the lead starting is basic backwards, like a lady turn over the first three steps. So you can give her the space she needs for her steps there.

Just because everyone once said the Earth was flat, didn't make it not round (spherical). I'm sure once people start applying basic geometry and kinematics to dancing, they will realize it was a simple mistake on the terminology it was taught with originally (like teaching Cha-Cha on1). You can teach it as "360", but as for me, I'd like my "students"/friends to use correct terminology when teaching it others since dance and math are related.

would you call it a cross body lead plus 360? I felt like I have learned this whole thing in two parts, the first one was the simple cross body lead followed by a 360 degrees with a leg hook.

@user7897 13 жыл бұрын

As usual Antony shows one thing and then demonstrates it different. You gotta look at your own moves man!

@addicted2salsa 15 жыл бұрын

That is incorrect. The lady is the pivot axis (center of the circle) and the guy only moves 180 degrees on that axis. Therefore 360 is the incorrect terminology. Note that some people consider the cross-body lead at the end, part of the move, but it is not, because the cross-body lead is LINEAR movement, not a ROTATIONAL one. There are 360 degrees in a circle. For a real 360 degrees cross-body lead, see videos with Milton Cobo.

I'm confused on why one would consider this a 180. 180 would mean that you end up facing opposite to where to started. In a 360, you end up facing the same direction as which you started. Unless you mean for the CBL alone. But you still kind of lead the follow to move 360 degrees. A reg. CBL (ex. Inside turn or out-of-the-way) would be a 180. That's my opinion! But hey, as long as I can do it, terms wouldn't matter too much.

I sort of like to know the name of every maneuver for easier reference and memory retention. I sort of notice there are three maneuvers here . The 180 and Turning Cross Body Lead , The Spring Action and Cross Body Lead again, no turn. I see three movements or maneuvers here. Hope I'm right, or did I crash? Just did it, dividing the maneuvers. Thanks....
