Salsa: Kentucky

The move called Kentucky starts similar to enchufla, but the leader stops the follower at the hip then at the shoulder and exits by making a step behind to turn around to return to initial position. The video below illustrates the move very well



The video is filmed by Melendrez Dance Studios (latinastaire on YouTube). They are based in Florida and give lessons in many social dances.

Salsa: Enchufla

This move is common in Rueda. A great list of Rueda moves can be found in the wikibook about Rueda. We take some information from there.

There are quite a few variations of the name: enchufa, enchufla, enchufa, enchufe, or even enshufta. There are more videos on YouTube with name "enchufla", so we use it here. In English it means "plug her".

The leader turns the follower to her left, and at the same time moves around so that when she has finished her turn she is facing him. It's about 140 degrees around. This is common for enchufla to be followed by dile que no.

The video below is by YouTube user strictlysalsa. This is for the dance school in Glasgow & Edinburgh.
