Two Step - Right Turn

In this fourth lesson, Anthony and Rose break down the right turn—one of the three core movements that make up the majority of social Two Step. After learning to walk straight and turn to the left, dancers now complete the foundational trio with this essential direction change. While the left turn starts with the follower beside the leader and finishes with her in front, the right turn begins the opposite way. The follower starts facing backward and rotates one and a half turns to the right, ending forward in promenade position. This means the leader must gain ground—moving up beside the follower during the turn to maintain proper alignment and connection. Leaders are guided to adjust alignment during the quick quick so they’re in position by the first slow, just as the follower completes her turn. Timing, placement, and flow are key. This lesson emphasizes cycling between basic, right turn, promenade, and left turn patterns to build muscle memory and seamless transitions. Anthony encourages dancers to drill this sequence repeatedly, explaining that nearly 95% of Two Step can be built from these four essential movements. It’s the foundation every great Two Step dancer relies on. Read More
