Stop Turn

Freeze and Spin

★★☆☆☆ Age 7+ both feet Level 2 · Turns

You stop dead, and the person chasing you cannot. By the time they stop, you are gone.

Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Practise it — Chase stop

A friend chases you. Stop and turn 8 times.

Stop hard. Turn low.

Watch out

  • Slowing down instead of stopping.
  • Standing tall, so the turn is slow.
