## 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.
