salsa 2. Shoulder stop and hook turn

I like this step because it is simple, looks good and it feels good.

  • We start we a cross body lead to separate and have an overhand connection
  • Left turn for the follower,
  • Free spin for the follower
  • Leader stops the follower’s free spin and guides a right turn
  • At the same time leader does a right turn on 5-6-7
  • When the dancers are not holding hands, then it it the moment to shine.
