1st Step - Direction Step
2nd Step - Half Way around
3rd Step - Full way Around
Then Tap on the 4th count
Master the six hand holds for bachata: four single-handed grips, plus double-handed and cross-handed grips, using hammerlocks and top-hand turns to control direction.
Learn the cross-handed hammerlock in bachata, practicing basic steps, hand switches on five and seven, and palm-to-palm grip to guide turns and return to the double hand grip.
