COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on follower variations in single-axis turns, specifically exploring creative body shapes and grounding techniques to enhance balance and styling.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Ground yourself by thinking of your energy going down into the ground like a corkscrew.
• Keep your weight on your left leg and let the right leg relax and go out to the side.
• Use your left arm for solid connection and support if needed during the turn.
• Add leg circles with the right leg like a paintbrush on the floor for extra styling.
• Sink down into the floor to maintain balance while turning.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain a grounded and balanced posture to reduce pressure on your partner.
• Focus on body shape and creativity to add personal styling to the turn.
• Ensure a solid arm connection for support without leaning heavily on your partner.
• Exit the turn smoothly by bringing yourself back up and shifting axis when ready.
