In 39th class we learnt Salsa Titanic step with lead (travel) back variation.
We begin by doing one full basic step to get in sync with each other. Then we do outside C turn, with male partner doing open break and female partner doing clockwise turn. At end of above turn steps, they switch their hands. He gives her right hand to his right hand and his right hand now holds her right hand. Then starts Titanic steps:
1: He starts doing CBL. He gets hold of her left hand with his left hand, above their right hands.
2: CBL step 2.
3: CBL step 3.
5: CBL step 5.
6: CBL step 6, with inside turn. he raises his left hand and she starts turning counter-clockwise under their left hands.
7: CBL step 7. Both partners start facing same direction, performing the Titanic pose. Her hands should be straight and stretched out horizontally.
1: He does a forward basic, but his left foot makes another 45 degrees rotation. She also goes forward, with her right foot crossing her left foot and coming forward.
2: Basic step 2, with hands horizontally stretched out. Both shift weights to back leg.
3: Basic step 3. he brings his left foot back. But this time he places it 45 degrees rotated clockwise.
5: Both starts travelling back. Both partners turn 90 degrees clockwise during this step. He puts his right foot back, rotating it almost 180 degrees clockwise.
6: He brings back his left foot crossing his right foot. His left foot and right foot should point roughly opposite directions.
7: He brings his right foot close to his left foot. Both partners are now facing same direction to the one in Titanic pose. During all above steps, they keep their hands horizontally straight.
1: He does a forward basic, while she does her back basic.
2: He leaves her left hand and she starts rotating counter-clockwise under his right hand. He walks forward rotating her and covering the distance.
3,5,6,7: She completes one and half counter-clockwise turns and both start facing each other. They also shift their hands at the end. She can also one and half rotations in clockwise directions, but it depends on which step she gets the lead to turn.
Following video shows the steps. Option 2 is the one, we were taught. Details are 2:56 minutes onwards.
