Now that you’ve learned the Front-Back Basic, Side Basic, Back Basic and Cumbia Basic let’s bring them all together.

Play around and get used to transitioning between your basics.

Remember: you can switch between your basics anytime you want as long as you finish a complete set first and start your next basic on the 1 (the first beat in the 8 count).

Followers (traditionally the ladies), make sure you follow your partner – don’t anticipate!
