## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches traveling turns down the line of dance, focusing on techniques for continuous rotation in one direction and footwork variations.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Drill turns with upper body torque and lower body torque separately.
- Step on every beat for standard turning in blues dancing.
- Practice closing legs when turning on the back foot.
- Use a step forward with full foot on front and ball on back for ballrooming turns.
- Drill exiting turns by stepping back and collecting to control the ending.

##REMEMBER
- Be flexible in turns to adapt to partnership dynamics.
- Footwork can vary; focus on rotation that works best with your partner.
- Different turn styles suit different dance contexts like ballrooming or juking.
- Control the turn's ending to smoothly transition to other moves.
