..Why does she count 4,5,6 when you only tap on 4 and only step on 5,6,and 7 ??

There's not exact definition of Guapeando there are different style! from Santiago de Cuba de do different than the Havana, as long you're in rhythm you're dancing!.
I like to say that they are not wrong about their instruction, because they are very well qualified to teach us, That's a real Cuban dancing style we do call Casino!!
Everything we do while we're dancing ( cuban style Salsa (casino) ( walking, turning, jump and so' is permitted as long you're in the rhythm!
La bendicion!

Great stuff.

lol I love how you equalized Cuban style and Miami lol

Nope... LA Style is basically line dancing. A girl is ALWAYS on the straight line. Same with a guy, only he's allowed to "get off" the line to do a move...
Plus, "rueda" is Spanish for "wheel" and that's what it is... Three or more couples dancing in a circle and one lead is calling the moves. You can do it with two couples as well...
This is Cuban Style SALSA only, she's doing male steps and he... I really dunno what he's at...
And she's counting "4". Which you don't, as it's null beat...

This is proper traditional Cuban style rueda. Im sorry to say you're mistaken. Perhaps you're confusing this with LA style.

she's doing male steps and he's doing female steps. And they both go forward at the same time. You don't do that. Ever. And guys always start on 1 with left. 5 is right... Vice versa for the girls. And 4 is null beat (same as 8). You don't count that...

She danced as if the floor was slippery

enchufala y que se vaya ... maria se fue!!! ajajaaj
Actually, your feet never come together in a basic in any style of Salsa. Not On 1. Not On 2. Not in Cuban, or Miami style. An instructor may start teaching a basic with the feet coming together after a rock step, but when you're actually dancing it, they never come together.

They're actually teaching cuban style salsa or casino as its known in the US. "Dile que no" is their name for a cross body lead. "Enchufla" means to break back, give her a half left, then send her right back. You would normally hear all these calls during a rueda, which is why they have names so everyone in the circle know what to do and when.
