In 38th class we also learnt Salsa Cross Body Leads with Fall steps. We begin by doing one full basic step to get in sync with each other. Then we do a variation of CBL:
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 foot.
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.
5: He does basic step 5, by going back on his right foot. He gives her lead to do CBL. He gently pulls her left hand with his right hand. She crosses him by walking straight with her left foot.
6: Basic step 6 for him. He shifts weight on his left foot. He leaves her left hand and gives a slight pull with his left hand so that she does a 270 degrees counter-clockwise (left) turn. She starts turning left by putting her right foot forward and then making it as pivot to turn left.
7: Basic step 7 for him. He brings his right foot forward and places it near left foot. Weight is then shifted on right foot. She also completes her turn and now both partners start facing same direction, with him holding her stretched right hand with his stretched left hand. Both partners stretch their free hands in opposite directions, adding style. Their fingers should make shape as if they are holding a ball with thumb, middle and index fingers only.
1: Both partners do open break step 1. He does it with his left foot going back, while she does it with her right foot.
2: Open break step 2 (weight shifting).
3: Open break step 3 (bringing foot forward). Here male partner gives her a lead to curl in. He pulls her right hand a bit in front, forming a kind of tension in rubber band. She brings in her left hand near her chest, at shoulder height.
5: Open break step 5 for him. He brings his right hand back to its position, giving her a kind of jerk on her right hand and thus a momentum to do clockwise 360 degrees turn. She starts curling into his left hand, by rotating clockwise. For turning right she begins with overlapping her right foot by her left foot.
6: Open break step 6 for him. She continues curling in clockwise.
7: Open break step 7 for him. She completes her 360 degrees turn and both partners start facing same direction such that they both end up standing side by side with his left leg almost touching her right leg. He also brings in his right hand close to his chest (at shoulder height), such that his right hand palm touches completely her left hand palm (forming a namastey).
1: He does a side step with his right foot, while she falls over him sideways. Doing this, she picks up her left foot and places it on her right leg knee and keeps on leaning right over him.
2: He shifts his weight on left foot, pushing back her. She puts back her left foot on ground and shifts weight on it.
3: He brings his right foot close to his left foot. He also breaks namastey and pulls her right shoulder by his right hand. This gives her momentum to do 1.75 counter-clockwise (left) turns.
5: He raises his left hand and she starts turning left by overlapping her left foot by her right foot. While she is turning, he does rest of his CBL steps. He turns 90 degrees counter-clockwise and also covers the distance. He does that by starting with his right foot going back.
6: She continues turning under his left hand and he puts his left foot in front of him, rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
7: He puts his right foot close to his left foot, turning 90 degrees completely. She also completes her turns, and now both partners start facing each other.

Advanced Salsa Newyork steps with Windmill variations
In 38th class we learnt Advanced Salsa Newyork steps with Windmill variations:
1: Male partner starts by doing open break and making C loop with his left hand.

6: He shifts weight to his left foot. She continues doing right turn.
7: He pushes his right foot to get momentum to do a quick 180 degrees counter-clockwise (left) turn. During rotation, his left hand keeps on holding her right hand over his head. She completes her right turn. At end of his turn, he leaves her right hand. Both partners are now facing same direction. She lets her right hand come down and he holds it with his right hand (brought behind his back).
1: Side step 1. Both partners do side steps, with him holding her right hand with his right hand. He starts by doing it with his left foot, while she starts with her right foot.

2: Basic step 2.
3: Basic step 3. He raises his right arm straight above and going a bit far right (making some 20 degrees angle from his standing line). She also has to make it sure that her right hand goes up straight. This is the lead for windmill rotations.
5: He goes back with his right foot and starts doing clockwise rotations with his hands (like rotating windmill). The windmill rotations are not exactly in line of his standing line, but rotated 20 degrees. She starts doing clockwise turns by overlapping her right foot by her left foot. In total, she has to make 1.5 clockwise (right) turns.
