“Turn-Turn-Turn” into Better Skating Turns!

Class Summary week of 03/11 – 03/13/25:

Get ready to pivot into something spectacular! This week, we’re diving into the art of turns (aka “transitions”). We’ll be working on mastering 2-foot turns like the slalom turn, the “C” turn, and the “S” turn—covering transitions from forward to backward and backward to forward.

• Tuesday GrooveSk8 I & II: Let’s apply what we’ve learned in Downtown and St. Louis Ballroom! We’ll refine those 2-foot turns with proper technique to make every move smoother and more stylish.
• Artistic Expressions Groups: We’ll take a deep dive into the mechanics of turning. Together, we’ll work on shoulder rotation, tighter skate placement, and fun exercises to sharpen your skills. Plus, we’ll bring these techniques to life with exciting new dance steps from the Southland Swing and Collegiate. For an extra challenge, we’ll even partner up to explore how keeping your feet close can transform your turns into showstoppers.

Whether you’re spinning solo or turning with a partner, this week is all about elevating your skating finesse with confidence and flair
