Turn On The Spot

In Scottish Country Dancing Turn on the spot is sometimes called 'turn about'.

One or more dancers, as individuals, rotate by the specified amount and in the specified direction while Setting On the spot; the direction of rotation is often expressed as Pull right shoulder back or Pull left shoulder back rather than clockwise or anticlockwise. If not otherwise specified, a full Turn of 360 and clockwise rotation are implied.

This Figure is also performed using a Travelling Step (see under Turning).

This Figure is often performed using a Setting step (see under Setting).
