Merengue Paddle Turn
Turn in a circle by "paddling" the free foot around a planted foot.
How to do it
- Plant your R foot as a pivot point and keep your weight over it.
- Use small pushes with your L foot to rotate around the R foot.
- Complete a full circle over 8 counts, then reverse.
Tips
- Spot a point on the wall for each rotation to avoid dizziness.
Common mistakes
- Lifting the pivot foot instead of staying low and smooth.
