Please note the last 2 sections. There is no crossing steps in Rumba. Cross
full-turn is to make it easy for linedance friends. The more proper way to
do the steps is to break it down into quarter turn, pivot ½ turn and
then a forward ¼ turn. This way, there is no crossing of feet.
Also, for better styling, use the “hold” count to shift weight with a bit
of hip movement.
CCW – counter clockwise
CW - clockwise
Repeat!
