The basic step of the sauce

The basic step of salsa is the step that unites all the steps in the dance.. It is used from the beginning of a dance, during the dance and until the end of the dance. Many basic salsa steps are born from this step..

This basic step consists of three steps that are played on the first three beats of the bar.. The fourth beat of the measure is a pause where no step is performed. The three steps are repeated in reverse for a second measure to complete one sequence of the step..

In the basic step of the salsa the leader of the couple steps forward with the left foot on the first beat of the bar.. Touch the ground with your right foot on the second measure and step back with your left foot on the third measure.

The next person in the pair repeats the same sequence in reverse, stepping back the right foot in the first half. On the fifth count the leader begins by stepping back with his right foot while the person following him in the dance steps forward with his left foot..

If you pay attention, these three steps that make up the basic step of salsa always alternate feet: left foot-foot-left foot, and vice versa. Every time you change feet there is a change in weight..

The basic salsa step is almost similar in all salsa styles.. There are variations in the direction of the step or in the way of distributing the steps in the rhythm, but the step itself is practically the same.

the side step

the side step, also known as rumba step or guaguancó step, is one of the easiest basic salsa steps for beginners to learn. Instead of taking steps back and forth, this step moves only to the side.

In the side step, the leader and the person following in the pair do exactly the same steps.. They step to the left with their left foot in the first half. They step in place with the right foot and then return the left foot to its original position..

To step to the right, the same sequence is repeated to the right. This side step is excellent for transitioning the dance between a basic step and a more advanced one..

The step in progress

The marching step moves forward in a gradual manner.. This step looks like the basic salsa step, but with a little difference. The march step does not go backwards on the second beat.

The marching step takes a step forward with the left foot in the first beat. In the second half you also take a step forward with your right foot and in the third half you step back with your left foot..

When you change feet you don't change direction like you do in other basic salsa steps.. Instead, steps forward with the right foot in the first half and with the left foot in the second half. And in the third half, he steps back a little with his right foot..

Starting with the left foot and alternating feet: Forward-Forward-Backward- Break

Starting with the right foot and alternating feet: Forward-Forward-Backward- Break
The march step cannot be done by both people to the couple at the same time. When the leader steps forward, his partner has to step back.. The backward step is a similar sequence to the march step., but backwards.

Starting with the left foot and alternating feet: Back-Back-Forward-Pause

Starting with the right foot and alternating feet: Back-Back-Forward-Pause
