Horseshoe

A Horseshoe is also known as a turn-straddle-turn, which is exactly what it is: a turnstep that goes right into a straddle, then into a turnstep on the other side of the bench. This is also known as a U-turn.

This move is done in 8 counts:

• 1. Step up on the bench with the lead foot.
• 2. Bring other foot on top of the bench as you turn.
• 3. Keep turning as you step down with the lead foot to begin the straddle.
• 4. Step down on the other side of the bench with your other foot. You are now straddling the bench.
• 5. Step up on the bench with your lead foot.
• 6. Bring other foot on top of the bench as you turn. You are now facing the opposite direction as in count 2.
• 7. Step down with the lead foot on the far side of the bench.
• 8. Bring the other foot down next to the lead foot. You are now on the far side of the bench, facing the same direction as when you started.
