we learnt quite a fair bit of stuff in the salsa class today: whole turn (basically a right turn with right foot stepping backward instead of left food stepping forward), cross body lead turn (a 540 degree turn to the left - this really made me dizzy), and combination of cross body lead turn and normal right turn, as if one and a half turn is not enough, hehe.. but it looks really nice if it's done gracefully with controlled body movements.

the female instructor was quite strict and we always felt stressed when doing partnerwork with her, as it seemed like we did everything wrongly - step was too big, elbow was opened to wide, wrist was not placed properly, etc. on the other hand, the male instructor was so relaxed. when I mentioned that I forgot to do the side steps during the 'head ducking' movement, he said he didn't even notice, ha...
