right foot; meanwhile the right foot rises to the ball. On count “3,” lower the heel of the right foot to the floor.
Turn by pivoting on the supporting foot, continuing to touch the point of the free foot to the floor.
In the bar that follows, the left foot takes the first step, as before. To accomplish this the weight must be kept on the right foot.
2. The step backward is the converse of the foregoing. The diagram indicates, as start, the position in which the feet were left by the preceding step.
For the sake of simplicity, the diagrams indicate a straight advance-and-retreat movement. It will be understood that, in practice, this is varied to effect turns, i. e., by pivoting on the supporting foot.
