+COURSE: Basic Turns
+FOCUS: This lesson teaches the inside turn in dance, focusing on proper technique for leaders and followers to execute the turn smoothly and return to close position.
TIP & TRICKS:
- - Maintain an upright posture with weight centered in the middle of the feet for better connection.
- - Keep arms relaxed and light, resting on your partner without clamping down or squeezing.
- - Look over your partner's shoulder with a straight neck to avoid head dropping and tension.
- - Use a 'deflate button' on the chest to release tension if you or your partner feel too stiff.
- - Imagine being slightly melted chocolate bars that squish together softly when connecting.
+ - Leaders should prepare by lifting the left hand and turning the body slightly to signal the turn.
+ - Followers should keep the right arm relaxed to allow it to cut across the body naturally during the turn.
+ - Use a 'magic button' signal by placing the hand on the partner's back to indicate returning to close position.
+ - Maintain distance as a leader to allow the follower to lift the elbow and slide back into connection.
REMEMBER:
- - Connect based on your own posture and height, adjusting naturally to size differences without compromising form.
- - Avoid connecting heads to prevent discomfort and maintain a nice open V position for ease of movement.
- - Ensure both partners are balanced independently, not relying on each other for support during steps.
- - Keep shoulders relaxed to prevent tension from creeping up into the hands and arms.
- - Practice with a forward connection into your partner, maintaining posture even when stepping back.
+ - The turn takes eight counts to complete, so keep the basic steps slow and controlled.
+ - Followers should look at the inside of their elbow during the turn to maintain orientation.
+ - Traveling a bit during the turn is normal and should not be forced.
+ - Clear body positioning and hand signals help communicate the move effectively between partners.
