types below.
1. Spot turns...turning around a spot with complete weight changes from foot to foot.
1A. Directional Spot Turns...dictated by the pattern this turn can take on angles.
2. Pivot Turns...these turns can create a rocking
action or travel.
3. Spiral Turns...a turn towards the opposite standing
side with or without connection.
3A. Curls...a turn towards the opposite standing side
with rise and connection.
4. Spins...complete turn of the body over one foot.

6. Turning Latin Walk...a turn preceded by a
full-weighted step.
7 Swivels...turn of the body over a series of weight
transferences with or without connection.
8. Paddles Turns...used mostly in Samba, this turn is
much like a spot turn and uses whole and part weight steps.
9. Pencil Turns...turn of the body over one foot, with
or without connection, and always with wind up
9A. Coupe Turns...turn of the body over one foot with
free leg held in elegant line and always with connection to partner.

that requires spotting and much study.
