Salsa Turns for Beginners

Turns are why many people want to learn salsa. They come in a set order.

Right turn first

The follow turns to the right on 5-6-7 while the lead keeps the basic. The lead's hand guides, it does not push.

Left turn after the basic is steady

The left turn uses the same count in the other direction. Add it only when the right turn lands on time.

Questions people ask

I get dizzy. Is that normal?

At first, yes. Spotting a point on the wall helps.
