Underarm turn

  • salsa
  • Level 2
  • 70–130 BPM
  • Follow
  • 8 beats

A foundational turn for the follow. The lead raises the joined hands on counts 1-3, the follow walks a single revolution under the raised arm on 5-6-7, and the partners reconnect on 8. The same mechanic underpins the double spin and triple spin variants; the difference is the number of revolutions.
