8 Stretch & Turn II

COURSE: our-favourite-moves

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on modifying a stretch-and-turn move by adding speed changes and a new ending, specifically teaching a triple rhythm for followers and a faster turn with three steps.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Add more energy to lead the follower through with a triple rhythm.
• Perform a triple rhythm in your own body to signal the follower to do the same.
• Keep the arm connection super relaxed after the stretch.
• Pivot on the left leg for rotation during the turn.
• End by slowly turning to face your partner whenever desired.

REMEMBER:

• Use increased energy to communicate speed changes to the follower.
• Maintain balance on the left leg during the turn for stability.
• Relax the arm connection to avoid unnecessary tension.
• The turn now has three steps instead of two for a faster pace.
