Hi James,
For now all the figures I know that will allow me and a partner to dance into a correct directions (LOD) or travel toward LOD are by adjusting the amount of my turning basics, turning Bota Fogos, turning Corta Jacas, turning Voltas, reverse turns and other varietions of turning Bota Fogos. I think I will try hard to practice the amount of those turns and adjust in a way so that hopefully by the end of those turns I can carry on into next traveling figures such as walks, voltas right or left and lead the dance toward the LOD. Thanks.
Keh
