4 Turning Your Four Corners

COURSE: four-corners-special

FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to rotate the four corners dance step by adjusting the size of hip scoops to turn the body in place.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Do a bigger scoop in the direction you want to rotate, such as a big scoop to the left to turn left.
• Alternate between big and small scoops to facilitate turning, like big scoop left then small scoop right.
• Practice turning on one side more than the other to control the rotation effectively.
• Use the hips to turn around a corner, emphasizing the scooping motion for direction.

REMEMBER:

• The hip action remains the same, only the scoop size changes for rotation.
• Rotation is achieved by doing larger scoops in the turning direction and smaller ones on the opposite side.
• This technique is useful for solo practice and will be applied in partner dancing soon.
• Turning involves adjusting body position in place without moving from the spot.
