The Secret To Turns
In this lesson, Anthony and Rose reveal a small but game-changing tip that makes turns easier to lead and easier to follow — no matter the dance style. Whether you're dancing Two Step, West Coast Swing, or Polka, there's one crucial detail that affects every turn: which foot the follower is on when the turn begins. Through clear demos and real-world examples, they show how being on the correct foot at the correct time determines whether a turn works or falls apart. When the follower is moving forward, a left turn requires being on the left foot, and a right turn requires being on the right. But when traveling backward, those rules flip — and they break down exactly why that is, and how to visualize it so it finally clicks. More importantly, they highlight that great leading isn't about doing the steps perfectly — it's about paying attention to the follower. This lesson brings clarity to the timing and weight placement behind turns, helping both leaders and followers feel more connected and confident on the dance floor. Simple, practical, and immediately useful, this one’s a must-watch.
