Hey, can anyone name this move, that you can see on 0:13 of this movie? I’ve seen it many times on floor, and would like to learn it (currently I’m looking for new salsa class, so I have no teacher).

That is called a ‘Snap’. The follow in the video adds a head whip to make it look better (adding style)

Yes its a Snap It can be preceded by a similar move on the other hand to signal an incoming snap.
The easier way to signal a snap to your follow is to make a sort of Giddy-up move with both her hands on 5-6-7.
You start to raise your hand to roughly your shoulder height 0n 5 and her hands should be at your shoulder height at 7. then you *snap* her right hand (your left) to her right hip and your right hand stays close to your chest. From there you do other things

Thanks Anthony! But is the snap only a slide-in for follower? I thought about how to lead her into this moment, where a guy stands on spread legs and followers goes with these steps

On a quick note, I’ve also heard this move called a strike.
