I also recognised it from a class a couple of years ago.
Re the salida - which bit is the salida - I thought it was just the bit at the end of the basic 8? Isn't it Spanish for 'exit'? |
There are three parts in all
- the reverse start (retroceso)
- the salida (leader steps fwds, follower back)
- the closing finish (la resolucion)
