Simple but veeery elegant, this is one of Sara’s favorite walking steps. And of course, leave it to Sara and Ivan to take a simple movement and make it beautifully more complex.

Walking turns are fun and useful because they allow us to keep moving in a line, while giving us the glorious feeling of turning. In this video Ivan and Sara show you a basic walking turn as a foundation for more complex and embellished movements.

Besides being a lovely and unusual way to change between the cross and parallel systems, this movement might also elicit a small gasp of surprise from the follower! And with its smooth 1-2-3 timing, you can also use it quite effectively in vals!

Changing fronts while moving in a line can be quite dramatic! A more extreme version of the walking turn, this movement will also give you plenty of opportunities to work on your improvisation and creativity! So what can be better? Dramatic. Creative. Exciting!
