Half Turn 1: Followers
COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure
FOCUS: This lesson builds on a previous drill by adding more rotation, focusing on followers performing a half turn with 180-degree rotation while traveling on a single line.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Rotate more on the third step instead of just facing the side.
- Release on the same line after the twist to maintain direction.
- Step directly under the body when releasing from the twist.
- Avoid extending the leg back or taking a big step during the release.
- Make the eighth step a very small step under the body.
REMEMBER:
- The entire movement should travel on one long line for consistency.
- Maintaining connection after the turn is crucial when partnered up.
- Stepping under the body helps preserve balance and alignment.
- Practice the rotation and release to ensure smooth transitions.
