13 Rotation

COURSE: texas-shuffle-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing rotation in Texas Shuffle, specifically teaching how to anchor and rotate around a partner using techniques from pass-bys.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Open the door to create a line and let the rotation continue instead of stopping.
• Hold your spot at the end of a pass-by and rotate around your follower.
• Anchor yourself when your partner locks on a spot to encourage rotation.
• Play with different shots and footwork while holding a stable spot.
• Trade the anchor role back and forth with your partner during rotation.

REMEMBER:

• Rotation should feel similar to the protected two-arm version but with only one connection.
• The movement can be initiated from either the leader or follower deciding to anchor.
• Rotation builds energy like in linear movements but in a circular pattern.
• Practice should feel like a conversation, not a fight, to maintain flow.
