Tip: Start this Rock ‘n Roll Turning Basic with a small amount of turn and slowly increase it as you become more comfortable with the step pattern.
Once it is comfortable you can turn more than 180 degrees with each rotation! This gives your Rock ‘n Roll lots of energy and momentum.
You will also be able to use this Turning Basic step to give you a boost of momentum to get into other moves with ease such as the Taps and Kicks in Level 2.
