## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches how to rotate the four corners dance step by adjusting the size of hip scoops to turn the body in place.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Do a bigger scoop in the direction you want to rotate, such as a big scoop to the left to turn left.
- Alternate between big and small scoops to facilitate turning, like big scoop left then small scoop right.
- Practice turning on one side more than the other to control the rotation effectively.
- Use the hips to turn around a corner, emphasizing the scooping motion for direction.

##REMEMBER
- The hip action remains the same, only the scoop size changes for rotation.
- Rotation is achieved by doing larger scoops in the turning direction and smaller ones on the opposite side.
- This technique is useful for solo practice and will be applied in partner dancing soon.
- Turning involves adjusting body position in place without moving from the spot.
