Easy Quad: Turn into New Year
This is a
Quad Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 12562)
Home (H) Red (R)
Jail (J) Green (G)
I would use the bases, but I mix up first and third all the
time. Home and Red are in the front. Jail and Green are in
the back. Right foot leads Home and Green and left foot leads
Jail and Red, most of the time.
C2C means corner to corner walk diagonal along the step.
C2C diagonal 2 means walk diagonal along two diagonal steps,
like home and green or Jail and Red
- Home 2 turns, (8) go to Jail (on 7 and 8)
- Jail 2 turns, (8) go back home after 2nd turn
- Home turn, (4)
- Over top, (4)
- Side leg, (4)
- Over (4) go to Jail whole thing (32)
Right foot still leads
- Jail 2 turns, Home 2 turns, Jail turn, over top, side leg,
over (32) (same thing, only upside down)
Home turn into 2 knees, (8) (don't come down after first
knee, just lunge)
Over 2X go to Jail on 7 and 8, (8)
Jail right foot first alternate straddle lunge 4X (12)
Down tap on 11, 12 (you'll be on the back of Jail, outside
your four steps)
Left foot lead C2C diagonal to Red (4)
- Red 2 Turns, Green 2 turns, RED turn, over top, side leg,
over (32) Same as beginning only left foot lead
(backwards)
- Green 2 turns, Red 2 turns, GREEN turn, over top, side
leg, over (32) (upside down and backwards) Left foot still
leads
- Red turn into 2 knees, (8)
- Over 2X to Green, (8)
- Right foot straddle lunge 4X (12)
- Exit, right foot C2C diagonal Home (4)
Repeat a bunch of times using 'hamstring' instead of side
leg, or 'instep', or 'hip extension', or 'ski' (jump onto step,
like skiing downhill, then step down- anything 4 count)
OR instead of 'turn into 2 knees', turn into 10 knees, 18
knees for leg work, 10 side legs etc. Those numbers keep the
combo in an 8-count pattern. I have the class count with me.
Some think it's fun.
If time, I do what I call "Interim". It's a move stuck in
the middle to get the heart really pumping.
- Crazy 8
- Right foot lead
- Turn Home (4) go to jail on 3,4
- Knee Jail (4) go to red on 3,4 (you get the picture)
- Turn Red, (4)
- Knee green (4) looks like an hourglass (16)
- Home half hop, (4)
- C2C diagonal 2 (Home and Green) (8)
- Back over (4) go to red on 3,4
- Red Flying L-step (8) (left foot L-step right foot (cha
cha) go to Jail on 7,8
- Left foot L-step right foot cha cha back to red. Repeat
till dizzy and very tired. (Keep track so you can even it
out on the right foot.)
- Crazy 8
- Left foot lead
- Turn Red (4) go to Green on 3,4
- Knee Green (4) go Home on 3,4 (you get the picture)
- Turn Home, (4)

- Red Flying L-step (8) (right foot L-step left foot (cha
cha) go to Green on 7,8
- Right foot L-step right foot cha cha back Home. Repeat

Then go back to very top and see how much you remember from
the first combo
Happy Steppin'

This is really 1000 words for a few pictures.
On the Flying L-steps, for safety reasons, turn away from
the four set like you are going to the back, then cha-cha-cha to
the other end of the diagonal step. You're moving quickly,
taking big steps-hence, FLYING. You have 2 counts to get
there.
