Quarter Turn 1： Partnered

COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing contra-body rotation with a partner, combining lead and follow exercises to achieve a coordinated quarter turn.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders start with weight on the right, followers on the left, and begin the rotation in a specific direction.
• On step three, ensure feet stay close and step on the same line to maintain contra-body rotation.
• Check head movement by maintaining upright posture with shoulders rolled back to avoid hitting your partner.
• Film yourself to visually assess whether you are correctly executing the steps and maintaining the line.

REMEMBER:

• Avoid stepping out of the line on step three to preserve the contra-body twist and achieve the correct rotation.
• Head movement is optional and depends on posture and partner height; adjust if it causes discomfort or contact.
• Maintain a close connection between feet, especially on step three, to facilitate smooth unwinding of the rotation.
