For those who are ready to add something extra to their cross body leads in salsa dancing, this video will provide three ladies' styling techniques to bring your salsa dancing to the next level. Julie demonstrates three cross body lead variations for ladies: "the hop," "crosses," and "the booty roll." Now that the men have their styling video, we have to spice up our dancing as well!

Practice tip

Build the structure first, then add styling. The styling layer should make the move look more musical, not make the timing harder to follow.

Why this helps on the social floor

In real dancing, styling should support the partnership and the music. Use the cleanest moments from the lesson and keep them proportional to the space you have.
