Things to pay attention to in this routine.
1. on all figures (with some exceptions), commence to rise on 2. i.e. starting to rise on the standing foot that leads into the step of 2.
In the running spin turn, this means to rise on AFTER the turn.
In the natural spin turn, this means to rise from the standing leg of 1, when moving from 1 to 2.

2. be aware of where the partner is, inside or outside of the turn. example in the progressive lock, be aware of where the partner is. one way to do this when practicing alone is to hold hands up to represent the partner, and the shaping upper body shoudl be a response to this awareness.

3. need 10 hours of practice on this alone a week. :(
