Now that we’ve finished with turning, turning left turning right,

Modal verbs - A2

we’re 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,

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;

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

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.

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

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

We’ll show this to you at more regular speed without stopping;

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

do one turn change one turn change one turn – that’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 room – yea?

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.

We’ll go back to the side sway; one-two-three,

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.

We’ll do three side sways, and we can switch back to the other foot.
