Half turn 3： Followers

COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure

FOCUS: This lesson teaches followers to perform a half turn to the right while traveling backwards, focusing on maintaining a straight line and using the whole spine.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Step one, two, three, turn to the right on the fourth step, and unwind on five to continue the line.
• When unwinding, step underneath your body without driving forwards or going out of the line.
• Use a small pivot on the left foot as you turn, rotating it in place before stepping on five.
• Take your head with you when turning, looking over your shoulder to help unwind and maintain alignment.
• Practice the movement many times with music to build consistency and fluidity.

REMEMBER:

• Perform everything on a straight line to maintain proper form and direction.
• Use your whole spine during the half turn, not just the body, to enhance movement quality.
• Ensure the foot pivots in place during the turn to facilitate smooth transitions.
• Keep weight balanced and controlled to avoid drifting out of the intended path.
