Thanks to Nathan Bugh for being my leader in this video. When someone's learning how to dance, it's easy to think that quantity of moves is how you get better, but I would argue that after you have a few basics, exploring what can be done with a single move is an excellent way of creating variety and ownership. In this video, we'll be covering the tuck turn from closed position. We'll talk lead & follow technique, and go over some specific examples and show some Nathan specialties.

Yes!! I’ve just been working on my tuck turns, this is great timing. Thanks for reading my mind, Laura - your videos always bring me great joy :)
"Threat of personal injury really adds a lot of focus." Brilliant! We're not dance-on-a-high-rock advanced yet - thanks for the breakdown - eventually we'll get our tuck turns town so we can dance effortlessly in precarious spots. For now, the dance floor is challenging enough!

lol - I definitely didn't need this challenge. But such a pretty shot!
Just learned tuck turns in class this week!
The Tuck in Place - I found this surprises followers in a good way and they all laugh about it - maybe bc it happes so much faster (sooner) than sending the follower out. 👍
Nathan Bugh! Tuck turns! Fun!
Thank you!😊
Phenom!
I miss seeing you all at the Austin Swing Syndicate (The FED). Will you ever come back and visit?

Oh, the Fed taught me almost everything I know. I miss the Fed. I'll be back from time to time, but I'm not sure when yet.
❤🎉
What follower variations can be added to tack turns?
