Shuffle to walk backwards
Follow stands to the right of lead. On 1 the lead pushes the follow sideways/CW, so that she can throw her hair and head in the same direction into a dramatic pose. The follow throws her left leg out to the left at the same time, to complete the pose and for balance. The lead may throw his left leg out to the left at the same time for symmetry; it is a good idea to lift the right leg forwards before 1 for lead in order to quickly shift weight on 1 for the shuffle. On 5-6-7, the lead walks backwards with the follow, one step per count, right foot first (on 5) for lead. Lead signals to follow that a walk backwards will commence by applying pressure with his right thumb on the front of follow's shoulder, approximately where the collar bone is. Only apply pressure enough to make signal be receivedStart position

Making your own routine
After having performed a salsa move, the lead and follow end up together in a position that makes it possible to directly do some moves, but not others. This site is an attempt to catalog these moves and see which fit together in what order.
The moves, positions and their descriptions are for LA style salsa on 1.
For each move is listed what moves can follow it. In this way you can build up a routine. Click at the "Moves" tab above (or click here to directly go to moves) to get to the moves, or just click around and explore. The routine you build up will be shown in the "My routine" box above.
In the future there should be more moves and positions on the site, and short videos showing each move in slow motion. If you would like to help, click the "Contact" link at the top of the web page and write something.
