Inside Turn
Advanced Level
Full mastery — nuance, personal expression, and artistry
A turn where the follower rotates inward, toward the leader — the quieter, more intimate cousin of the outside turn.
Tips
- •The inside turn feels tighter than the outside turn. Give the follower slightly less momentum — the shorter rotation distance means less energy needed.
Common mistakes
- •Leading it like an outside turn — different hand path
- •Follower taking too big a step and losing balance
- •Not giving enough prep signal before the turn
Practice drill
Alternate 8 turns: inside, outside, inside, outside. Keep the rhythm constant. The transition between the two should feel seamless — same prep, different direction.
