Turning ~ C Free Hand Detail

Practise a turning sequence in fans while giving your free hand a clear job. As you pivot and step through the turn, keep both arms long and intentional, extending the free arm behind you rather than letting it hang loose. Nikki Scarano cues you to imagine a second fan in the empty hand, matching the carried fan’s pathway and shaping for cleaner lines.

This drill refines turn aesthetics, shoulder and arm extension, and overall symmetry, helping the rotation read as deliberate rather than incidental. Work at a controlled pace to manage dizziness while maintaining consistent orientation and reach.
