    This intermediate salsa dance video lesson of addicted2salsa ( http://addicted2salsa.com/videos ), we go back to the basics to help you learn how to do a 180° Cross Body Lead with a Turn (*a few others call this the Coca Cola move). We first start off refreshing you what a Cross Body Lead with a Turn looks like and from there add-on the extra dance steps required to do a half-revolution. Getting the 180 degree cross body lead will help build the salsa framework for you to execute the 360 cross body lead - which will show you in a future episode.

    @tallpaulhutch75 Of course you do :P I loiter here also haha! Totally agree, there is a bit of a lack of 'go for the shoulder' taught as a rule. People coming from a Casino background usually get this drilled into them far better than the cross body crowd. I agree, when a follower detects this happening and doesn't find that shoulder in good order, that's a mistake. This piece of styling, I agree is a good way to achieve it though!

    @MrWildbill20056 - don't I know u from SalsaForums?! "There are different ways to style this/achieve it" - I totally agree mate. But where I'm from, 85% of the girls aren't aware of the need for "going for the shoulder", and will let you trap their arm by their side with this move over and over again, without realising that it would be better if they got it out of the way. That makes it v difficult to learn to lead this move, if the Fs haven't been taught how to follow it (1 way at least).

    @chaka1979 This sort of absolute nonsense generally comes from people who are clueless about the dance they are involved in. FYI people were doing 'gymnastics' on the Mambo floor before you were out of diapers. There are grainy black and white videos surviving to this day of Cuban Son and NY Mambo that would challenge the top dancers of today. So get clued up before you start spouting this crap. This goes for the clueless latins as well. Fortunate the latinos I know are far more knowledgeable.

    @Dragon34th What? No, I'm sorry. Yoga and Ballet? o.O We aren't ballet dancers. Julie's frame is upright, her shoulders are down, back and relaxed. Our knees, in salsa are always soft, it is part of proper training. Further it's clear that Julie is naturally very well shaped, and I for one enjoy when she exaggerates the pointing of her admirable behind in the 180. Otherwise her frame is totally fine. Ballroom and Ballet postures are not appropriate to the dance.

    @tallpaulhutch75 Sure it works, it doesn't work quite the same, but if the follower tucks right in and you get a firm connection with the shoulder blade (and you have a good frame) it'll work fine. It's not that the follower must 'push her hand up' it's simply that when she feels the hand connect with the shoulder blade as she completes, one way or another it's optimal if she 'goes for the shoulder.' There are different ways to style this/achieve it :)

    Good visual demonstrations... but WAY too much explaining. The explaining was drawn out and unclear. You should talk less and dance more :)

    Julie is great except for the funny bendy postures. You're a tall sexy girl but just stand straight a bit - the knee bending, the curved in back & butts pointing way behind just create a funny posture when you're dancing or even just standing up still. In Yoga & Balerina, they teach people how to assume good basic standing postures to enhance your natural frame which most people don't know about & thats how you can tell a pro dancer from some-one just learning a few steps. No disrespect.

    Thanks a lot for the videos. I've already bought the iphone app but I could not find anything about 360 move. So, could you record a video teaching the 360 move.

    Below every video you see haters with their racist and degrading remarks, they complain and complain and complain. About what? Criminals? No,far from it. A man and a woman who tries to teach salsa the best they can!

    @DEC2188Z You are full of it. I'm PR in USA and used to think the same (never said as dirty as you just said). They show me they have moves, and of course more class than most Latin hoews that go around insulting other races.
