The Barrel Roll – Intermediate Salsa Step

Today we’ve added a new intermediate Salsa lesson called the Barrel Roll. Check out the demo below.

Barrel Roll Demo


The Barrel Roll is a back-to-back style turn that uses an Inside Turn for the ladies, and a hook turn for the fellas. It’s a dynamic step that has a nice flow to it when executed correctly. It works well in any combo and starts from a simple hand shake hold out of your basic step. Leads, you’ve seen this footwork before in the Rejection, so you can refer back to that lesson as needed.
