Description

Turn in place with alternating step heels: step onto the ball of the right foot and drop its heel, then step onto the left ball and drop its heel. Weight changes on every step. Two step heels make one full rotation, and you spot to keep your balance.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the heels loud and clear, especially the one that drops while your head whips around to spot.
  • Stay level with knees softly bent, and keep your body upright. Leaning forward stops the turn short, and leaning back makes you over-rotate.
