http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/1417-intro-to-salsa-basic-turns-on2



In this lesson you will learn how to properly execute the right turn and the left turn for both the follower and the leader. The right turn is an essential part of many moves in Salsa so it is important that you learn these turns before moving on to more intricate Salsa patternwork.

A word about Salsa Dance Styles
---------------------------------------------
L.A. style (On1) and New York style (On2) are two of the most popular Salsa dance styles around the world. In the L.A style, the leader breaks forward with his left foot on the first beat of the measure while the follower breaks back with her right foot. In the New York style, the follower breaks forward with her left foot on the second beat of the measure while the leader breaks back with his right foot.

Once you feel comfortable dancing on one of these styles, you can easily translate your Salsa repertoire to the other style by following the "Timing Conversion Table" included as supplemental material with this video.
