Quick turning combo with ladies styling

Well, another episode from filming in Ames, IA. yes, it's another rushed episode, so we didn't have time to rehearse because our students were walking through the door - so we just winged-it.

Anyway, in this episode, we each a very simple turning combo that taps into a reverse-open-break. Then, the ladies will open (and maybe wink) and finish turning while the lead picks them up to finish with a cross-body lead., I hope you enjoy it¦

Practice tip

Start small and organized. Better posture, cleaner preparation, and calmer head placement will improve your turns faster than trying to spin harder.

Why this helps on the social floor

On the social floor, control matters more than quantity. One stable, well-prepared turn is usually more effective than multiple rushed ones.
