Euro Style?

[Canadian Guy]

I found this site from another thread.

Trying to learn some of the moves but don't know what the guy is saying but when I looked at his footwork. It looks like the guy is doing woman's timing and the woman is doing men's timing but the guy is clearly leading the woman into the moves.

Maybe it just because the movie is so small but it looks like the man is starting his steps with his right foot and the woman on her left.

Is this some new Euro style Salsa :?:

They dance the basic casino step called "guapea". The man reverses the normal basic step so that he steps back with his left foot on 1, and steps forward with his right foot on 5. The woman dances the common basic step (back with the right on 1, forward with the left on 5). That way the partners step "into" each other on 5.
This is nothing european, it´s cuban

Hey, I know that move - so its called "guapea", I used to refer to it as the back break.

Maybe it just the editing but I can't see the man stepping back with his left foot as his first step, I only see him stepping forward with his right foot as his first step and the woman stepping forward with her left as her first step... :?

The problem with the video is that they start on 5. He counts "fünf, sechs, sieben", which is "five, six, seven" :wink:
