• Practice with music to enhance the improvisation experience.

REMEMBER:

• You have four turn options: quarter and half turns on the right and left.
• Turns are performed backwards in this exercise.
• Improvisation allows freedom in step count and timing.
• Maintain control of your body to choose when to turn effectively.
• The exercise is designed to be fun and adaptable for practice.
