Question by me: what are the basic female footwork for colombian salsa not cali style normal?
Hi can someone give me the basic female salsa steps for colombian salsa, not the cali style just normal.
Ive looked at youtube videos but they go too fast for me to look and interperate the steps. I think i’d learn
better if thesteps were explained to me. I know that on the
4th beat you tap forward but is that on the
same foot each time if someone could explain the basics i’d appreciate it thanks!.

Best answer:

Answer by Noir_Heureux
