For more info see my danceblog SalsaSelfie.com, https://salsaselfie.com/2022/05/03/cuban-salsa-la-paloma-pigeon-walk/ La Paloma (The Pigeon), or the "Pigeon Walk", I have learned from a video of a workshop by Ruben Rodriguez. It took me and my partner a training session to learn the move and to get a good feel for it, and another training session to modified it to suit our own style of dancing. The original "Ruben" video is too stationary for my taste, the Follow side-crabs into Paséala. I want a generalised move based on optimised basic figures, easy to remember and replicate. And I want a move that fits my "always forward" dancing mode. My training partner suggested to prolong the move by adding a walk before going into Paséala. In our version in the video, I make her walk 2.5 counts of Eight before going into Paséala. It makes the look and the feel of the move much better. This is a good example of how one can modify the moves of other dancers to suit one's own style. ********************************** SalsaSelfie.com YouTube Videos ********************************** 34.

Lazo, https://youtu.be/lokr9V4EoCY 01. Practica is Number One, https://youtu.be/aa_iQijkwCk Most of the figures in the videos work the best or are only possible if the Follow steps forward by default. A Follow should only do a back-step, loosing two steps, if the Lead lead her into such a back-step, putting a break on the dance. Back-rocking Cuban Salsa, very common outside of Cuba but also in Cuba, could be called the Limited Edition of Cuban Salsa because it puts so many constraints on leading and following that less than half as many computational options are available compared to "always" stepping forward.
