  • Now that weve finished with turning, turning left turning right,

  • were going to have to show you how to change from one to the other.

  • You only change; you only turn one direction

  • it will be a little bit boring, a little bit dizzy.

  • So here is the change step. Now to show you the change step

  • I’m going to do it separately. Wendy can you please stand over there

  • and the gentlemen are here. If we do a left turn, let’s come forward

  • a little bit more so you have more room. Left turn and,

  • one-two-three, four-five-six.

  • Here is the forward change for the man going from left turn to right turn

  • and the back change for lady and one-two-three.

  • I went forward three steps and she went back three steps

  • and closing the feet on the third step. From here we turn right;

  • one-two-three, four-five-six.

  • Now we can show you a change step to take us from right turn to left turn

  • so this is a forward change for man and a back change for lady.

  • Again and; one-two-three and switch to the left turn

  • and one-two-three, four-five-six.

  • Demonstrate to you dancing together.

  • One complete reverse turn six steps; one-two-three,

  • four-five-six. A forward change step for man,

  • back change step for lady, one-two-three.

  • Into the natural turn; one-two-three,

  • four-five-six. And to demonstrate the other change

  • from right turn to left turn here it is again; one-two-three,

  • and left turn.

  • Well show this to you at more regular speed without stopping;

  • one-two-three, four-five-six,

  • one-two-three, one-two-three,

  • four-five-six, one-two-three,

  • one-two-three, four-five-six,

  • one-two-three. Now normally people will not just

  • do one turn change one turn change one turnthat’s too many changes.

  • They would do two or three complete turns in one direction before they

  • change to the other side. So why don’t we demonstrate right now

  • how we use the change step to go around the roomyea?

  • And well do that with music.

  • Now we have to tell you again that is the ideal situation

  • where you learn the step and have experience

  • and you have the technique and finesse to do it.

  • We are not at the ideal situation at this stage at the bronze 1 level

  • so we show you a way to change without doing the change steps.

  • Well go back to the side sway; one-two-three,

  • two-two-three, both sides.

  • If you do the reverse turn; one-two-three,

  • two-two-three, dance an odd number of side sways,

  • here we dance three. By dancing an odd number

  • we can now go forward gentlemen and back ladies with

  • the man’s right and lady’s left to do the right turn.

  • Well do three side sways, and we can switch back to the other foot.

Now that weve finished with turning, turning left turning right,
