12 Recap Routine

COURSE: Basic Turns

FOCUS: This lesson recaps basic turns by combining them into a short routine, focusing on smooth transitions between moves like outside turns, free turns, inside turns, and leader's turns.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Ensure the outside turn has the follower travel further to create distance for the free turn.
• Leaders should lift hands early during transitions to signal upcoming moves.
• Turn your body early and obviously to guide the partner into side-by-side position.
• Maintain arm position after a turn to provide space for the follower's next move.

REMEMBER:

• Transitions are key; practice moving smoothly between turns to maintain flow.
• Clear body language and hand signals help partners anticipate and execute moves effectively.
• Focus on timing and distance to ensure moves connect seamlessly without interruption.
