Too many things to pay attention to. We suggest you concentrate on one aspect and then add another to your attention after you're comfortable with the first:

1. Practice the steps slowly until each one is complete in itself before you take the next one. We don't want the end of the side step, for instance, to run into the pivot for the back step. And we don't want the pivot to run in to the back step. We punctuate the different steps in the molinette with a slowing.
2. Then speed up slowly.
3. The goal is to move smoothly but not at the cost of clean endings to the movements.
4. Be careful to get completely over the ball of your foot in one step before moving on to the next.
5. At an advanced level, there is a subtle counter pull against the direction of the movement when a step begins.
6. It takes practice to learn to stay the same distance from the leader as you go around. Be gentle with yourself if you don't get it right. But do go back and try it again.
