So what we are going to be doing is from the basic step so we are doing a forwarding back to basic; quick quick slow, quick quick slow. So you are going to have three steps to get all the way around just like this. Okay for the men and the women, leaders and followers; as you are going forward, you are going to turn around. The big trick you do turning is you have to step on your foot first and you are going to step on your left foot. Get your weight there and then you are going to turn on that foot. Then you are going to step forward on your right foot and now you are just going to do a little half turn. You end with your left foot back. Okay. Try to end with your feet together. This is really hard. I can't even do it. So this is what it looks like from this direction. I'm going along doing my basic then I get a step forward. I'm going to do a half turn, then a step forward on my right foot and half turn and I'm done. I finish my basic quick quick slow. So a little bit faster it goes quick quick slow, quick quick slow. Turn around. Just make sure you are stepping every step. Step step step, quick quick slow, from the follow right counting in eights 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 so I am counting my so I'm turning on count 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7,8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4 keep your head up. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. What we are doing so we don't get dizzy is you are going to look at your partner which is what we call spotting. So I am going to look at my partner, I'm going to look, I turn and I whip my head around, don't see anything else in the room and then my shoulders come around. So if I want to do more than one turn, I'm going to get dizzy."
