Woman: When you’re doing the eight step basic as a follower make sure you don’t start to lead your partner. It’s very important that you let the leader be the leader and you be the follower.
Diego: The point that is most important is the cross as a leader. Make sure that you use your spiral to lead your partner and always remember never to use the grip of you hands. So when you get to this position you want to spiral your torso as you bring your feet together. There you have it.
