@machoev12 Good observation ... usually in the on2 style the man will start with his left foot backwards. These guys are doing salsa on1 (LA style)

[machoev12]

i thought men where supposed to start with there left foot going backwards ?

please help

I understand that the woman should wait until led to go across (until it's time). Is there a variation or another move with the same prep that the woman is not led to go across? Hence, not a cross body lead I suppose.

Thank you so much for teaching detailed aspects of the salsa dance. However, I'd like to ask you when someone new is learning what is the best method? That is, from video 1, then which video would be next and so on and so forth. Any input is highly appreciated.
