My apologies for this crazy thread, but this has been driving me crazy ever since I got home last night from my Salsa On2 group class.
The instructor taught us this turn where BOTH the man and woman hold hands crossed, i.e. the man’s left hand holds the woman’s left hand and his right holds her right. The left hand is on top of the right during the cross. Then on the 1-2-3 going back (which is done on Salsa On2), the man now DOUBLE-TURNS the woman to her right while your hands and her hands are still crossed. The woman will turn around twice with her hands in the air remaining crossed at all times. Then after she finishes double turning, our hands are still crossed just like they were in the beginning and we resume dancing on the 5-6-7.
Now since BOTH our hands are crossed at the same time, I have difficulty switching hands fast enough and supporting the girl at the same time. There was even one woman in the class that lost her patience with me due to the latter, but I’ve already went into that little issue at another thread, so I won’t go there.
But does anyone here recognize this turn pattern and what it’s called? I would like to google it and see if I can find a streaming video on it, but I’m having hard time since I don’t know the name of this.
