Explanation and counts of the steps ⬇️

SALSA SIDE STEP ON2
1️⃣ Step with right and close your feet in the centre
2️⃣ Step with left to the side, stay under your body so you can transfer your full weight on the left leg, don't make the step too big 
3️⃣ Step the right foot in place
Repeat on the other side
5️⃣ Step with left to close your feet in the centre
6️⃣ Step with right to the side (see pointers above, at count 2)
7️⃣ Step the right foot in place

Do you close your feet in the centre when you danc Do you close your feet in the centre when you dance salsa on1? 

I prefer to step through the centre, i.e. to not close the feet, essentially creating 4 'tiles' to step on instead of 3. 
This second way of dancing on1 is less "staccato" and more fluid, creating more flow in your basic. 

When you're used to stepping on 4 tiles, with more flow, it'll help you grasp on2 better. You'll see why in later videos. 

Questions so far? Ask them below or dm me! 

In this series we're going to go through the switch on2 process step-by-step so you'll have no problem picking it up!
