It certainly is nice to know you can do a lot with less. Haven't danced or done anything for months. I guess I should take the time to practice these so we can dance again, I have more varations. Nice work Robin, keep it up!
Definitely keep the practice up! Even if its just some shines here and there. gotta keep the body warm and moving ;) Great to hear from you Joeline! -Robin
Seven? I count ten... judging from the names you are giving them. Anyway, interesting and thought provoking video, For example, I like the windmill and hand switch variations. I'm sure that I have never done them before. Now, I will!!! Thanks. A thought... You only show variations where the lead is left of the follower when she passes him. You can also do a number of outside turn variations from the "other" side. And some of them (free spins from the shoulders, hips or R/L-r arm position) would be far less awkward. Yes, some would be more so! Have fun, I do!
Absolutely. There's a ton of possibilities. The point is to get people starting to understand that most of them are all the same base move, and from there you explore. -Robin
I have a question about inside and outside turns as the follower. How do we know if the lead is intending for us to do inside or outside turns? I get confused and turn the opposite way 😅
There should be a very clear difference. My advice: do a free trial of our online salsa program to get the full instruction thedancedojo.com/product/free-trial/ (Salsa Partnerwork On1 > Experienced Beginner module). Short answer: when dancing on1 the inside turn is prep'd on 5 and you start turning on 6. The outside turn is prep'd on 3 and you start turning on 5. The timing is very different. -Robin
Hey, we don't have them all listed as single moves. They're all using the basic version of the outside turn but with different handholds. - Outside turn (basic version) is in Salsa Partner Work: Experienced Beginner (on1) or Beginner (for on2). This covers the first 5 options (they're just using different handholds. For the free spins, just use slight suggestions to turn on the hips, shoulder or by the arm) 6th variation is the simple turn but the lead just drops his right hand to a 7th variation is the basic outside turn but with a handshake handhold 8th turn we do is Semi Circle - Semi Circle is in Salsa Partner Work: Intermediate Touch n Go concept you'll find used in some combos I believe. The idea of how you switch hands is explained in SKILLS & TECHNIQUE (AREA) > CREATING YOUR OWN COMBOS (MODULE) > TRACING (LESSON) at 3:20 In creating your own combos we also cover lessons on handholds which explains how you can have so many variations of just a single turn. The final variation "Behind the back hand switch" i'm not sure if we have that anywhere. Hope this helped! -Robin
Great video! Outside turns seem a bit more difficult and complicated than inside turns because of opposite round movement of arm and fingers. I need absolutely a partner in order to get the hang of them. Do you have some tip for these turns in the meantime?
You might surprise yourself Tetsuro. I think at the start the most important part for the lead is to draw the circle around the follow's head (just frame her, there's no impulses) at the correct tempo. I.e. don't go too fast, and stay on the quick quick slow rhythm which your feet are doing. Besides that, the principles of hand connection stay the same: she's supposed to give you her palm, and you connect with her palm using the middle finger (and maybe the pointer finger too) but you only need one finger really. -Robin
@@thedancedojo Robin, thank you so much for your precious advice. Now I am watching the video again and again checking all these points which are helping me understand also the overall movement more easily. Unfortunately in the country where I am living currently any type of couple dance like salsa & bachata has been prohibited due to direct contact and lack of social distance since this covid 19 spread. Therefore, there is no chance to practice these turns with anybody else, but thanks to you, I think I can reach a certain level by myself and I am very grateful to you !! Have a wonderful day ;)
When doing a cross body lead if the follow turns to the right, away from you, that's "outside". if the follow turns to the left, towards you, that's "inside". Search my video on "7 inside turn variations" to see both. There's no right or wrong time to use either turn - use them whenever you feel like it! -robin

Hey, I have the salsa course, where on the site are the breakdowns for these outside turn variations? I can't seem to find them, I may be blind. 😅

@@thedancedojo Thank you!
Excellent but I think you guys should dance more closer and tighter
The distance you dance at depends on what you want to do :) -Robin

Cómo se llama la canción, song?
está en la descripción!
whats the difference between outside and inside? when to use when?
When doing a cross body lead if the follow turns to the right, away from you, that's "outside". if the follow turns to the left, towards you, that's "inside". Search my video on "7 inside turn variations" to see both. There's no right or wrong time to use either turn - use them whenever you feel like it! -robin
@@thedancedojo yes I know the difference. Just wanted to know when to use when
Suddenly..beardy man!
Magic 😎 -Robin
