Jive Break Away with Underarm turn (Outside Turn)

In nineteenth class, we learnt Jive's break away with underarm turn (outside turn) step. Female partner does it in two steps, turning to her right, by rotating on her right leg as pivot. Male partner just gives lead and continue doing his basic steps.

Outside turns are always followed by inside turns since the hand is upside down. (Guys, any time a pattern leaves your hand upside down, do an underarm turn to correct this.)
closed position -> outside turn -> inside turn -> closed position.

Steps are as follows:

1. Partners complete previous Jive steps.
2. Steps 1 and 2 are same as basic steps.
3. In steps 3-a-4, male partner starts to raise his left arm, till it reaches over his head.
4. In step 5, he gives a slight push with his left hand to her right hand, so that she gets momentum and turns clockwise.
5. During steps 5-a-6, she rotates clockwise by 90 degrees, picking up her left foot, and walking away diagonally.
6. At end of step 6, she completes 90 degrees of turn. The hands can then continue doing return with inside turn.

Rumba and Cha Cha Spot Turn / Alternate Turn

In eighteenth class, we learnt Rumba and Cha Cha's Spot Turn /Alternate Turn steps. This can be called an extension of Newyork step. After completing the last step of moving towards right, male partner performs:

1. On count 2, turn clockwise slightly, pick up and cross your left leg to cross over your right leg. Make sure that the width between your legs is that of taking a comfortable large step.
2. Move all of your weight to your left foot.
3. On count 3, turn clockwise on your left foot. Your right foot and leg should naturally turn as well. At this point, you should be facing backward from your original position.
4. Turn, rotate and step to original direction with your right foot, to complete the turn.
5. On count 4 / Cha, bring your left foot forward to be even with your right foot, but allow for some spacing between your feet. The space depends on which dance you are doing, Cha Cha or Rumba.
6. On next Cha count, slide your right foot to close to your left foot.
7. Similarly, you can do walk around and turn in other direction, rotating counter-clockwise.

Merengue Underarm turn (One handed turn)

In seventeenth class, we learnt Merengue's underarm / one handed turn (both of 4 and 8 counts).

1. We begin with the closed dance position and the basic Merengue dance pattern. At any point, male partner raises his left arm up and female partner's right arm above her head to indicate that he want her to perform a turn.
2. He gently applies pressure with his right hand to her back to ensure that she turns clockwise to her right. She starts turning under his left arm and return to the closed position.
3. He removes his right hand from her back and she turns, moving her right arm across her body
4. Male partner may then perform a left turn himself after turning her to the left by moving her right arm over his head. This is sometimes called "around the world".

Salsa Cross Body Lead (CBL)

In sixteenth class, we learned Salsa's cross body lead (CBL). We begin by doing one full basic step to get in sync with each other. CBL steps are:

1. Basic step 1. She does her basic steps.
2. He opens up to his right side. He lifts his right foot and puts it perpendicularly backwards to his right. This displacement is a bit more, when compared to basic step 2. Weight is shifted on right leg.
3. He puts his left foot (rotated perpendicular) close to his right foot. Then weight is shifted on left foot. Now he has turned perpendicular to his initial direction.
4. Stop.
5. He gives her lead to do CBL. He gently pulls her left hand with his right hand. He also goes back by his right foot. She crosses him by walking straight.
6. He puts his left foot forward (a bit big displacement) perpendicularly, rotating it in left direction. Weight is shifted on left leg.
7. He brings his right foot forward and places it near left foot. Now he has again turned perpendicular to the direction in step 4.
8. Stop.

At the end of steps, he should reach at the same starting position, just turned by 180 degrees.
