Step in Place sn0021, H2.1

  • If Follower receives no signals from Lead then Follower does 'Step in Place'. This is effectively the 'default' step.
  • Lead holds Follower's right hand only or both hands as shown.
  • The weight is transferred from one foot to the other as normal, i.e. as Mambo Basic Step, sn0174, but the feet 'step on the spot'.
  • This may seem like it should be the easiest of the basic steps to do, but it can be one of the most difficult. Use the Toe Tap to help keep the beat.
