10 Everybody Turns!

COURSE: Basic Turns

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on combining outside and inside turns for both leaders and followers in a dance routine, with the goal of overlapping these turns smoothly to create a cohesive sequence.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start turning your body on the first basic to avoid waiting too long.
• Use the shape of the arms to guide the turn and move it in front of you.
• Drop and lift the hands to signal the end of a follower's turn.
• Take your time to come back together after turns, using extra basics if needed.

REMEMBER:

• Overlap turns by starting the leader's turn before the follower's has fully finished.
• Maintain clear communication through hand movements to coordinate turns.
• Practice turns on the spot to build confidence and control.
• Mix and match turns with music to enhance flow and timing.
