A Paddle Turn is usually a 360 degree turn utilizing 7 weight changes on the ball of the foot while leaning in the direction of the turn.
1 - Left foot steps 1/4L & - Right foot side R 2 - L 1/4L & - R side R 3 - L 1/4L & - R side R 4 - L 1/4L The Push Turn is a variation of the Paddle Turn with one definite weight change and six partial weight changes. Following the above pattern you step your left foot 1/4L on count 1 and the ball of that foot remains on the dance floor and the heel is elevated to allow the turn as you push yourself around on the & counts. Do you differentiate between a Push Turn and a Paddle Turn in your danicng? I like a Push Turn, but if the floor is sticky; or, I'm dancing on a rough surface, I substitute a Paddle Turn to protect my joints. *NTA Dance Terminology Booklet and Study Guide 2019
