## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the walking inside turn, focusing on stepping every beat and transitioning from four basics to the turn with proper lead and follow techniques.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders open up the body and lift hands slightly to prepare for the turn.
- Step through the turn on a line, using directional energy rather than just rotation.
- Keep shoulders down and elbows relaxed, with the inside of the elbow visible during the turn.
- Leaders place the right hand behind the partner's back between the third and fourth counts to signal coming back together.
- Maintain palm-to-palm hand position throughout the turn to avoid wrist soreness.

##REMEMBER
- The inside turn involves both rotational and directional energy compared to slower turns.
- Practice turning on a line, such as a floorboard, to improve footwork accuracy.
- Ensure smooth transitions from basics to the turn with clear hand signals.
- Focus on consistent stepping rhythm to maintain timing throughout the movement.
