"Dear Edie..."    Page Ten

Hi, here is my ?,
I consider myself a little bit above average salsa dancer, I  can keep in step very well with just about any woman , but recently I had the  priviledge to dance with a very nice PR lady , while dancing in the basic mode (hands together) I have no problem staying in step , while giving her more than basic turns I still keep up with her pretty good , the problem is that  once I let go of her and start dancing free , I can not pick up on her step whats so ever. Can you give me any hints on how to stay in step with her?
Thanks

Dear Bit Above Average,
Don't worry about her steps so much. Just slowly, when you're good and ready, get back into basic, for a couple measures, look at her in the eye, extend out your arms and she'll fall into place with you. If she doesn't BE A MAN AND GENTLY PLACE HER BODY IN YOUR STEP!
Love, Edie
