"Now we're going to show you how to do an inside turn. Similar to the outside turn, we're just going to use the other hand. From our basic. Half of a basic, one, two, three, slide it out to two hands, five, six, seven. And, again, on the pause count eight. We're going to prepare by lifting the hand that's going to be leading the turn. For the gentleman, this time, it's going to be your right hand. As you lift, guys, here's a tip. Flip the hand up so that your palm is facing the girl and then close the thumb on the other side. This give you the leverage that you need in order to lead the turn properly, Okay? So, you're prepared on eight, you're going to give her the turn. Let go of the other hand. Turn her one, two, three, and back to basic, five, six, seven. We'll show it one more time. Basic, two, three. Prep, six, seven, eight. Turn, two, three. Back down with the hands.
