## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches the basic single-axis turn, focusing on creating a gentle basket shape with the arms to help the follower stay balanced on one axis without traveling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Take a step to the lead's right and follower's left, letting the upper body drift to offset positions.
- Set a gentle basket shape with the arms, avoiding tension or squeezing.
- As a lead, create momentum and let the follower decide how to use it, maintaining autonomy.
- Keep the same distance from your partner to maintain a consistent circle radius and axis.
- Followers can lean into the lead slightly to test balance, with tone increasing only as a reaction.
- Practice staying on a single axis regardless of foot placement, focusing on balance over specific steps.
##REMEMBER
- The move should feel effortless, with the lead helping the follower stay on one axis without controlling foot placement.
- Autonomy is important; leads initiate movement but do not place the follower.
- The arm shape is set but not tense, forming a gentle basket between partners.
- Maintain a consistent distance to prevent pulling or pushing the follower off axis.
- Balance should be over the axis, with tension only needed if balance is lost.
- Focus on turning on the spot without traveling side to side or around.

## FOCUS
- The lesson focuses on foot percussion as an improvisation topic, aiming to practice rhythmical and percussive foot movements while maintaining axis control.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use toe taps and heel drops for percussive sounds.
- Try scuffs or brushes with the ball or heel of the foot in any direction.
- Create swishy sounds by sliding feet while keeping them stuck to the floor.
- Experiment with any other foot percussion ideas you can invent.
##REMEMBER
- Maintain the same axis rules as in previous moves while improvising.
- Focus on being as rhythmical as possible with foot movements.
- Incorporate a variety of percussive techniques like taps, drops, and slides.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on improvising with momentum in single-axis turns, teaching how to vary the speed of turns for comfort and dynamic expression.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leads can adjust the turn's speed or stop completely without moving the follower off axis.
- Followers can play with momentum by holding their lower body back and then speeding up.
- Use facial expressions and eye contact to communicate intentional changes in speed.
- Practice slowing down, stopping, and catching up with the partner's momentum.
- Ensure changes feel intentional and not reactive to every bit of resistance.
##REMEMBER
- Momentum adjustment is a two-way street; both partners should be prepared to adapt.
- Changes should be made for comfort or dynamic effect, not automatically in response to resistance.
- Maintain clear communication through body language and facial cues to understand partner needs.
- Keep the turn on axis even when varying speed or stopping.
- Intentional changes enhance the dance's dynamic and connection.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on exploring shapes and levels in single-axis turns, encouraging dancers to experiment with variations in posture and height while maintaining balance and rotational energy.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Lower your level to increase speed and feel more grounded.
- Play with extremes of high and low levels independently of speed.
- Use rotational energy to inspire creative shapes like spirals and twists.
- As a follower, combine level changes with shape variations for better expression.
- As a lead, focus more on level changes while staying prepared and stable.
##REMEMBER
- Level and speed can be adjusted independently, but lowering often aids faster movement.
- Shapes and levels naturally complement each other, especially for followers.
- Experiment with bizarre shapes to enhance creativity and balance in turns.
- Leads and follows can play with levels separately to suit their roles.
- Use the axis as a foundation while varying levels and shapes for dynamic expression.

## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches an inside turn entrance into a single-axis turn, focusing on body rotation and creating a pathway for movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Rotate your body as you step in on your left side to transmit rotation into the turn.
- Step back on your right and open your body up to create a pathway for traveling through.
- Catch with the hand to create the axis and help form the basket position.
- Allow momentum to continue slightly after the catch to deepen connection and improve stability.
##REMEMBER
- The entrance sets up the turn by using body rotation to initiate movement.
- Creating a clear pathway with steps and body opening facilitates smooth travel into the turn.
- The hand catch helps establish the axis but is minimal in effort.
- Variations can be applied once in the basket position for creative expression.

## 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.

## FOCUS
- This lesson covers exits from single-axis turns, focusing on how both leaders and followers can initiate the exit and adapt footwork accordingly.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders can shift the axis in any direction, with forward and back being easiest.
- Followers can exit independently if they feel motion sick or the music phrasing suggests it.
- Exits vary based on weight placement, leading to mirrored or same-leg footwork.
- For same-leg exits, leaders cut out one step to maintain momentum.
- Practice exits initiated by either partner to see how footwork changes.
##REMEMBER
- Both leaders and followers can be responsible for exiting the turn.
- Footwork at exit depends on the follower's actions and timing of the axis shift.
- Mirrored-leg exits are straightforward, while same-leg exits require adjusted steps.
- Leaders should signal readiness to move on after exiting.
- Adapt exits based on partner comfort and musical cues.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on follower variations in single-axis turns, specifically exploring creative body shapes and grounding techniques to enhance balance and styling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Ground yourself by thinking of your energy going down into the ground like a corkscrew.
- Keep your weight on your left leg and let the right leg relax and go out to the side.
- Use your left arm for solid connection and support if needed during the turn.
- Add leg circles with the right leg like a paintbrush on the floor for extra styling.
- Sink down into the floor to maintain balance while turning.
##REMEMBER
- Maintain a grounded and balanced posture to reduce pressure on your partner.
- Focus on body shape and creativity to add personal styling to the turn.
- Ensure a solid arm connection for support without leaning heavily on your partner.
- Exit the turn smoothly by bringing yourself back up and shifting axis when ready.

## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches a follower variation for single-axis turns, focusing on creating a twisted spiral shape in the body while turning and exiting smoothly.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Shift weight onto the right leg and ground yourself like a corkscrew into the floor.
- Let the left leg drag behind to form a spiral shape, and step through to exit the turn.
- Relax your arms and spine to enhance flexibility and maintain the spiral shape.
- Keep your body facing into the basket to stay connected with your leader during the turn.
##REMEMBER
- The spiral shape in the body adds aesthetic beauty and makes the turn easier by maintaining connection.
- Flexibility in the spine is key to achieving the twisted, torque-like shape similar to wringing out a towel.
- Exiting on the right leg can create a nice spiral effect for a smoother transition out of the turn.

## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches a lead variation involving hooking the leg behind as a simple solo and partner move, with the goal of integrating it smoothly into dance while maintaining proper technique and partner connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Hook your right leg behind the other leg as a proper step, placing your weight fully on it.
- Walk out of the hook step to continue dancing fluidly.
- Change the timing slightly to accentuate the hook for stylistic effect.
- Practice the move solo first to build confidence before trying with a partner.
##REMEMBER
- Maintain the same space between you and your partner to avoid shifting their axis.
- Juggle awareness of your partner's axis and your own body movements simultaneously.
- Ensure the cross step does not affect the upper body or frame, keeping it as an extra layer underneath.

## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches leader variation 2, focusing on incorporating triple steps while walking around, with an option to add a heel scuff for a percussive effect.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Add a heel scuff by softly scuffing the floor on the way into the triple step.
- Keep the heel scuff quiet in social dances to avoid excessive noise.
- Practice triple steps as triple step, triple step, triple step in normal timing.
- Add or remove triple steps flexibly during the movement.
- Maintain timing and momentum while walking around with triple steps.
##REMEMBER
- The heel scuff should be a soft, quietly percussive action.
- Followers should stay on their axis to keep it simple.
- The variation does not necessarily change the timing or momentum.
- Come out of the movement just like normal.
- Practice with a song to integrate the steps smoothly.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on rhythmic footwork improvisation while maintaining a single axis, allowing followers to join in with rhythms without shifting weight or position.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Improvise with any rhythms in your feet, keeping them small and directly under the body.
- Followers should stay on a single axis without shifting side to side or forwards and back.
- Leaders should maintain the same momentum and rate of motion during rhythmic footwork.
- Keep about the same distance from your partner to avoid pulling them, as this works best without weight share.
##REMEMBER
- Rhythmic footwork is easier when both partners hold their own weight, allowing independent rhythms.
- The variation works well when not in a weight share, enabling personal improvisation.
- Practice by watching the instructors for ideas before joining in with your own rhythms.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on adding rhythms and grooves in the body, including isolations and shoulder variations, to enhance dance aesthetics across different songs.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Do isolations and grooves from the waist down for easier execution.
- Move shoulders using back muscles to keep movements subtle and contained.
- Practice grooving with different body rhythms to a song.
##REMEMBER
- Avoid high body isolations as a lead to prevent throwing your partner off balance.
- Ensure shoulder variations are subtle and do not impact your partner.
- Body grooves should be loose and fluid for varied aesthetics in dancing.
