Introduce a "loader" in a step

I would like to make the impression that from step 1 of a guide to step 2 there is a loading process. I already manage to delay the displey of the second step, but there is no loading sensation. I was thinking I can put a third step in between step 1 and 2 with a "loader" and that after a second or so it automatically goes to the next step. 

Any suggestions?
