This book introduces the beginning reader to salsa dance using 15 short videos. Each set of videos demonstrate a fundamental dance step, hand hold, and dance position, shown from multiple angles. Each video can be "scrubbed". This allows you to slow down the playback speed. To scrub a video, tap and hold the dot on the location slider, then drag it left or right to scrub backward or forward. First we see Leader demonstrate the basic step, while performing solo. Second, Leader demonstrates a very common foot styling variation on the basic step. Third, Follower joins Leader. They perform the basic step while standing side by side. Next, Follower and Leader turn to face each other. They do the basic step, while still dancing apart. The last pattern to be demonstrated is our first where the dancers are not apart. Leader and Follower join hands here in what is perhaps the most common foundational position of salsa dance, namely, the open position. Finally, The couple performs the basic step in open position, facing each other. This book supplements other handbooks in the series, "Handbook of Salsa Dance". The other handbooks in this series provide more explanation of the dance elements demonstrated here.
