Hey Brian B and Megan! I saw your email, one thing I realized is how sensual Salsa dance can truly be, recently I started with a teacher who was a champion in her country in S America and she really opened my eyes how I was doing it all wrong... From just the simple cross body lead of feeling like im dragging her side to side likeĀ  abag of groceries, to instead, using my right hand onto her lower back, leading to the other side and sliding my hand from there down her arm back to our connection of the hands.. made a HUGE difference with how I perceived salsa and out in social world... Do you think you guys can dive into this some with how to make salsa more sensual with dance moves with your partner and in the social dance world?

everything lol , fr though since I did hip hop in the past it was mainly hot to operate with a partner as staying on a beat was relatively easy for me, also footwork

Brian BĀ Sounds fantastic. For Latin any cool moves even if not particularly in a syllabus but you and your dancers have great taste so I know it will be good. Point being me and my teacher tried a variated version of this when I tried to lead her through it and she had said it is not in the syllabus but she has seen it done in real life socially, as she is also from latin america. Thank you Brian love your stuff!

In social dancing in the line of dance do you find this move happening right after your turning basic to possibly cause an issue with stepping back into someone in traffic? my teacher has a variance where we have to curve into the center and sort of swirl out of it doing a rock step forward and back while turning then corte, repeat, then two tango closes.
