4 Side By Side Free Turn II

COURSE: Side By Side

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a side-by-side free turn variation where both partners turn in opposite directions, building on a previous version with a longer sequence and different timing.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Drop the hand low when facing your partner to maintain connection.
• Step forward on count six to redirect the movement before turning.
• Communicate the turn direction clearly between counts six and seven for your partner.
• Let go of the hand on count seven to initiate the turn away from each other.
• Keep the hand low throughout the move to ensure smooth execution.

REMEMBER:

• The key difference from the previous free turn is turning in the opposite direction with a delayed release.
• Maintain low hand positioning to guide your partner effectively during the turn.
• Focus on count six as the critical moment for redirecting the movement.
• Ensure clear communication with your partner to coordinate the turn away from each other.
