HALO
Turns For Leads: Introduction
In
our second tutorial with the HALO system, the halo is applied
around the lead. The result is somewhat counter-intuitive - the
follower is led to trace a circular path about the lead. The figure
is also known as a lasso because the lead's arm movement
resembles the twirling action used in throwing a lasso.
Again
this turn can be considered as a simple building block, which in conjunction
with other elements, gives rise to a turn combination. The first variation
is a clockwise turn with follower's right hand in lead's left (the picture
arms of the close hold).
