cubanito

Note that how to do the actual steps in this figure may depend on the music,
the more groovy (/ tumbao) the music, the more focus on body movement and less on moving your feet. 

There are several ways to exit cubanito:
dile que no, ladies’ left turn (enchufla) with hand behind leader’s back / hand above leader’s head.
It is also possible to combine this with going directly into cubanita, el dedo, sombrero or other figures.

aguajea / paseala / adentro y afuera

This figure has several common names.
Note the 2 variations of footwork in this figure. We recommend to start with the easiest one at this level,
and get back to the figure to work on the corss-steps after some practice.

Tip: practice this figure (aguajea) followed by dile que no, and be aware of
the difference in how it is led with the leader’s left arm (arm up in aguajea, arm down in dile que no).
