Salsa Inspiration for Leads: Adding Turns to Your Cross Body

Great video!!

Nice video! It is the details and timing of executing these movements is a challenge.

I really appreciate these inspiration videos- done to music to see how it flows, and lots of variations to pick and choose from to add spice to your dance. I probably won't be able to learn them all but found a few of these very cool and will be trying them when I go out next!

is it on1 or on2?

I love the half and halfs. I think I've been trying to master them They look impressive.

What a great video. Lots of things to learn and practice. Thank you!!

Thanks for this video, and the previous one. I found both of these really helpful! Since they are leader turns, they are easy to add into my dancing without needing someone to practice with.

I really like the way you teach and show the movements. Any suggestions for the follow? I'm having a hard time understanding and following the lead. I'm a beginner and I still don't know how connect with the lead.

Amazing!! Keep up the good work, Robin!

Dear Robin, I have a paid subscription to your salsa course, but can't find these turns there. In which chapter can I find them?

Definetely enjoyed this video A LOT! Now I know that I know all of these Turns [My Master teached to me in disguise😂] and you give me an idea for some Patterns. I have an idea for a video:
When we learn some patterns in school, we always do these patterns in Social Dancing, because we are still learning and so we have still not enough Imagination to come along with new patterns by ourselfes. We always raise, FOR EXAMPLE, the right hand of our partner with our left hand to turn her because our Master told us to do in this way [IN THE BEGINNING], right? Then I came with this idea: try to think about a "WHAT IF.... [INSTEAD OF, AND THEN, ETC]....?" scenario.

For example: "WHAT IF I try to use my RIGHT hand to turn my Partner INSTEAD OF the left hand?".
Another example: "WHAT IF I do a Cross Body Lead with CROSSED arms INSTEAD OF parallel arms?".
And a third one: "WHAT IF I do a Cross Body Lead with a turn AND THEN crouch in order to pass under the arm of my Partner?".
And a fouth one: "WHAT IF I block her during an inside turn INSTEAD OF continue her turn AND THEN toss one of her arms in a Hammerlock Position....?".
[Definetely not having Fun write these things😂].

And so on. In other words: EXPERIMENTING juuuust a little bit outside the box with the basic steps and techniques that I know and maybe that i DON'T know, always keeping in mind the Style that I am dancing and the EASE of my PARTNER, obviously🤗

great video! so many awesome moves, I'll add these to my chunk named "Lead moves" 😎

Great!

Thanks, I'm still an early learner and find your example videos very inspirational, discovering new things I would like to learn.

I just started checking the Salsa course at The Dance Dojo, its really nice a nicely explained, however I cannot find this video or some reference through the content. I really love how this looks as lead. Awesome tips!

I discovered your channel and i love the content and specially the name, because i practice Martial Arts and love salsa and latin rythms. Greetings from Perú.

Excellent Video and lots to use and bring into my dancing and routines. Thank you

Looks nice

Great videos, these are very helpful!

Cool. Can you make a similar video from the closed position?

Excellent

Hi, I am a subscriber of dance dojo online, but I can't find the breakdown for these turns.

Great Value

🙏

awesome

Amazing how changing the arm work can make two virtually identical moves look totally different to the eyes at higher speeds.

just great

I’m really liking these videos. You’re showing how to easily build on basic moves to give the appearance of more complexity. Just these little variations make the dance together that much more fun and enjoyable. Thank you for these videos!

Amazing Class!!

Amazing!!

As usual with salsa vile music

Muy bueno! This will help me spice up my boring cross body😂😂
