11 Turn with Redirect

COURSE: struttin-vol-ii-more-moves

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a turn with redirect, building on a previous turn by adding a middle section where partners change sides and switch hands to set up rotation in the opposite direction.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Shuffle through to change sides and switch hands as you move across.
• Keep arms at waist level, bent, and available for reconnection during turns.
• Maintain flow by continuously moving and tracking your partner instead of waiting.
• Practice the added middle section separately to focus on changing sides and rotation.

REMEMBER:

• The movement should have a continuous flow, with leaders tracking followers and avoiding pauses.
• Adjust the turn style based on space, using orbiting for tighter areas like in traditional strutting.
• Focus on turning technique even during simple shuffles, including arm position and eye contact.
