## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a single-axis pivot turn for followers, focusing on body rotation and unwinding to execute a smooth turn into a basket position.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Wind up your body by rotating into your left shoulder as you step onto your right foot.
- Unwind your body on the spot to maintain rotational energy without linear motion.
- Keep your arms in a set shape, not tense, to provide compression for the follower's turn.
- Followers should actively respond to the lead's arm shape and push off for the turn.
- Leads can catch the follower's momentum early for a smoother transition into the basket.

##REMEMBER
- Use body rotation, not arms, to avoid throwing your partner off balance.
- The turn relies on rotational energy only, with no directional or sideways energy from the lead.
- Maintain a consistent axis to keep the follower spinning in place.
- Timing of catching the follower can vary, but earlier catching often feels more fluid.
