Sample input
Correction: "Don't sit on the turn. Let it travel, and finish the reach before you drop." The choreographer showed a longer pathway toward stage right. Context: Contemporary callback, counts 5-6 after a double turn and before a low contraction on 7. My interpretation: Keep traveling through the turn, complete the arm line, and delay the contraction. Last attempt: I traveled farther but rushed the arm and dropped early. Time: 30-90 seconds. Physical limits: Left ankle fatigue, so repeated full turns aren't a good idea. Source: Choreographer.
