We are going to be turning that way. So to the left. Okay so we are going to go from the forward, backward basic. You are going to have 8 counts to make it all the way around so you've got plenty of time. So it looks like this. Here's my forwarding backward basic. You are going to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This is what we call a walk around turn. So I'm going to go forward on my left foot. Forward on my left. Okay quick quick and I'm going to point my left foot to a new direction and now I keep my left foot there. I step forward on my right, forward on my left and then I'm done. So it is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Stay in one spot keep your left foot there. Quick quick, slow, quick quick slow. So you want to make sure you come forward first before you before you turn left. Forward, ½ turn, so you turn a ¼ turn to your left and then another 3/4's and then you are done. Just take it a little bit at a time, now rush and as you turn around you are going to look at your partner. Forward and then look back. So you don't get dizzy. Take out the dizziness factor. Okay forward ,turn step around yourself. All in one little spot. The less that you move the better. As you come around at the end of the turn sometimes you might just err just stay where you are. The smaller steps the better for your left turn for the guys.
