Any dance using a song titled "Turn! Turn! Turn!" needs fitting choreography with a quantity of quality turns. In total,
there are 6 1/2 rotations in each wall of the dance, plus the final 1 1/2 turns in the ending, bringing the total to 34!
These turns include basic pivots, a corkscrew, a half monterrey, a small pirouette, a half pencil, and a half sweeping turn.
Although this dance has literal turns, it seemed to be the most appropriate time to release this dance due to the
meaningful lyrics of the song, as the world begins to TURN a corner and be reborn into a post-pandemic appreciation of life.
