Club Salsa

Tips and Notes:

• These notes assume a certain Salsa vocabulary, so some figures might be hard to figure out if you don't have the same vocabulary we did. In future, we will provide a glossary of these terms.

• These notes are all from the leader's perspective, you may need an experienced follower to work out the lady's part.

• Please review these notes in order. Some later amalgamations assume knowledge of previous ones.

• Spins are driven by upper body, not feet. On hook turn, before I hook my RF, wind up upper body, and use it to drive spin as I hook. Keep weight on left ball, bring RF in, let ball drag on floor, and use RF to stop turn.

Glossary

Cross-hands hold (X-hands)

Hand hold where the man holds the lady's right hand with his right hand, and the lady's left hand with her left hand. The pattern instructions should indicate whether right hand is above the left.

RH

Right Hand

LH

Left Hand

RF

Right Foot

LF

Left Foot

RXH

Cross-hands hold, RH on top.

LXH

Cross-hands hold, LH on top.

Under Arm Turn (UAT)

The man leads the lady to turn, holding her hand(s) slightly above her head, so that she passes under his arm.

Outside Turn

When the man leads the lady into a turn, his leading hand goes around the outside of the partnership. For example, an underarm turn to the right, led by the man's LH hold the lady's RH, has the man's LH going out behind the lady, away from him. In most cases, and outside turn will refer to a right turn led with the man's LH.

Inside Turn

Using the same terminology as the outside term, the man's leading hand initiates the turn by moving between the partners, that is, inside the partnership. A lady's underarm turn to the left, led by the man's LH holding the lady's RH, is an inside turn.

Cross Body Lead (XBL)

See under Ballroom Salsa

Comb Hair

With RH to RH or LH to LH hold, the man passes his hand just over his own or the lady's head, then down to the shoulder, simulating the action of combing the hair back.

Rainbow

Holding both lady's hands, starting from above her head, bring them down to her sides in a big arc.

Hammerlock

Position in which one of the hands is by the opposite hip, with the arm behind the back. Name is taken from the wrestling hold.

Cuddle Position

Lady's left arm crosses in front, left hand at right hip. Man's right arm goes around lady's back, his right hand holds her left hand at her right hip. Man's LH holds lady's RH in front of her.
