			1. Crossbody.

			2.1-3. Similar to a crossbody start, but push your left arm more on step 1 (so the lady turns slightly to her right), and pull her in more on 3 (so she starts to face you).
			2.5-7. Using your right arm, pull her shoulder towards you whilst leading her across you. She should turn clockwise and end up facing you. Try to keep hold of her left hand and instead of turning to face her, do a quarter turn right to face away from her and leave her hand on your left shoulder.

			3.1-3. Start an open-break-style move and put your right arm out to catch her hand. Put your right arm in the air and ensure the lady ends up to your right.
			3.5-7. Turn the lady clockwise across you so she is now in front. She should end up facing you.

			4.1-3. Put your left hand out, palm facing the lady. Do an open break and end in a copa. Let go of the right hand and place it on the lady's hip to stop her moving across you. At this point, you should be facing the lady who was previously travelling backwards.
			4.5-7. Let the lady do a turn (anticlockwise?) to your left and end up facing her again.

			5.1. Step towards and put your left arm down.
			5.2-3. Do a full turn clockwise and end up with yourself in an armlock position.
			5.5-7. With your right arm fully extended, bash the lady's right arm by moving your right arm anticlockwise into hers. When your arm reaches around the bottom again, make sure you have grabbed her hand.

			6. Do a crossbody but put your head through a gap made by your arm so the lady's arm is on your shoulder in the normal crossbody manner.

			==Salsa Lesson - 19/07/06==

			1. Crossbody ending up with your right arm about to slide down the lady's right arm so your hands hold.

			2.1. Start of an open break, let your arm slide down and catch the lady's hand on the first beat.
			2.2-3. Pull the lady forward so that she does half a turn clockwise. End up with your right arm around the back of the lady's neck still holding her right arm. Put out your left hand so you hold the lady's left hand in front of her.
			2.5-7. Step backwards, once on each step.

			3.1. Put your left leg out and to the front while facing slightly right, sort of like an inverse salsa step.
			3.2. Tap your right foot.
			3.3. Bring your left leg back to its initial position.
			3.5-7. Using the lady's right shoulder as a gentle pivot, encourage her to turn clockwise and raise both of your arms. She needs to complete and 1.5 turn clockwise. When your hands start to cross, temporarily let go of the left hand so the right hand can to through it, and hold on to the lady's left hand again underneath.

			4.1. Open break start.
			4.2. Step forwards, but put your left and right arms slightly to the left, across your chest. I think your left arm should be on top.
			4.3. Go under your left arm and start to turn anti-clockwise.
			4.5-7. You should use your left arm to get the partner to turn behind you. Complete the turn so you face your partner.

			5.1-3. Do the start of a crossbody, but put your left arm behind your head (on the right) and pull the arm across to make the lady's hand rest on your left shoulder.
			5.5-7. Instead of the normal crossbody steps, put your right leg behind the left one, tap the left one and return the right leg. Hold onto the lady's right hand with your left sometime during this.

			6.1-3. Open break start, but end up very close to the lady and with your left arm just behind her back.
			6.4-7. Pull her arm behind her back and over to the other side (her left). Grab that same arm with your right hand and pull her forward. Pull her arm down so that she comfortable does a clockwise turn to face you again. You should be doing steps so you can let her cross your path.

			7.1-3. Grab the lady's left hand with your left hand underneath your current grip. Do the start of a crossbody, but end up with your right arm way out in front of you.
			7.5-7. Draw a big circle with your right arm so she does a 360 degree anti-clockwise turn and you end up with your right arm on the back of her right shoulder.

			8.1. Ensure you are holding the lady's left hand with your left hand. Her arm should be in front of her body. Bring her right arm down and step forwards.
			8.2. Tap your left foot.
			8.3. Bring her right arm up (and her left arm up, but not as much), ready for her to turn clockwise.
			8.5-7. Cause her to complete the turn to face you again. As your left arm moves up, your right one should move down. When your right arm touches her right waist, let it go but keep hold of the left grip.

			9.1-3. Again, do the start of a crossbody as per 5.1-3. Do not use your left hand.
			9.5-7. Turn 180 degrees right so you're facing the opposite direction to normal. Move your left arm up and over your head so it's on your left.

			10.1. With your right arm, grab the lady's left arm (furthest away from you). This is done in a sort of open break move, so you move slightly leftwards.
			10.2-3. Step backwards, totally across her path so you are the other side of her but now facing her. She should be in a position to walk across you and you should still be using your right arm.
			10.5-7. Pull your right arm leftwards to urge her to move. Lift it up so she does a half turn anti-clockwise.
