Turns around a Common Center using Sacadas

Turns around a Common Center Changing Systems

Understanding whether a certain step is an open (side) step or a forward step in a turn becomes especially important when we begin to change systems throughout the turn. And once we are able to change systems, we start to understand all of the possibilities for different relationships in giros. So if you want to turn, turn!
