The salsa basic step is the foundational repeating pattern of salsa, establishing timing, weight transfer, and rhythm for both partners.

The back basic is a variation of the basic step where the dancer steps backward on the break, reversing the direction of the front basic while keeping the same timing and structure.

The leader right turn is a foundational self-rotation where the leader turns to the right using stepped movement rather than spinning, requiring space and a transition into open hold.

The follower right turn is a fundamental partner turn where the follower rotates to the right, guided by a light overhead lead and grounded stepping rather than force.
