@anthonybendeler true, the enchufla is similar to an open break alternation on 1.

Pretty cool. Thanks for pointing out all the small details.

Why does he call it a coca cola? None of my searches for a coca cola turns up anything like this. It's mostly hip/shoulder turns. Frustrating trying to learn from videos when everyone calls things by different names

[salsamonkey08]

coca cola is the term used in cuban (casino style salsa) for 360 cross body lead. He probably uses the term because he first learned the move from a casino style teacher. They have all kinds of interesting names for different moves in the casino style; for example, a cross body lead is called a "dile que no" while an inside turn is called an "enchufla".

Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Beyond the basics, different names do crop up for moves in salsa.

Coca-cola is a reasonably common one though - as salsamonkey08 says, it comes from cuban casino (e.g. "Siete con Coca-Cola"). NY dancers normally just call it "360 degree".

There is another LA style move sometimes called "Coca-Cola" with hip & shoulder CBLs - in my rueda class we call it "Coca-Cola Hip" to distinguish from the 360 degree turn.
