Cross Body Lead Flick Lock Pattern

Cross Body Lead Flick Lock Salsa PatternThis advanced salsa dance video lesson will teach you how to perform short but intricate pattern that we call the cross body lead flick lock combo. It is based on the original DPS lock combo from one of our “old school” salsa dance episodes, but made more advanced by creating a DPS lock with a hand flick after a cross body lead. Please be careful with this move as it is advanced and requires good timing to not hurt your dance partner.

"Frankie Ruiz"

The song used is: “Tu Con El” by the legend Frankie Ruiz. I also recommend “La Cura” as well – one of my all time favorites.
