Salsa: Dile Que No

Dile que no is the Cuban version of the cross-body lead. The difference is that a leader's steps do not follow 180 degrees pattern and the first step is made sideways. Thus the couple almost turn in a circle. Similar to cross-body lead there may be variation when the follower turn: dile que no with turn. In English the name of the move means "tell her no".
