The turning basic is just a variation of the back basic with a turn of the body included. It's easier to learn after the back basic, and it provides a change of scenery. If possible, align yourself facing one direction with objects that you can focus on ninety degrees to both your left and right e.g. walls in a square room. You can use these objects as reference points to help you learn.

Verbal Cue:
Turn-And-Close-Clap

Prepare to start:
Stand with your weight on your right leg ready to turn to your left.

Beat:

1.	Turn your body ninety degrees to your left while taking a step back with your left leg. (You should now be looking straight at the object that was previously on your left)
