DEFINITIONS No foot rise (nfr) NFR means exactly what is said,rise through the body but not in the feet.It is used when stepping back on the inside of a turn where the turn is not split. If foot rise were to occur , weight would drop back, balance would be lost and would pull your partner over!! There are 2 exceptions to this rule ; 1)Step 4 of the reverse turn in the slow foxtrot as man and 2)Step 1 of 4qr in quickstep as man,where foot and body rise occurs

It is necessary to get foot and body rise on these 2 movements so as not to imped the forward swing (SF),progression (QS)of the body. SWAY Sway is the inclination of the body towards the centre of the turn. It is called by the centre fugal force of the earth;in other words "the force of gravity".It follows C.B.M normally for 2 steps;but if the turn is stronger there is sway for 1 step only(impetus turn,telemarks).If the turn is too strong or the word "spin " is used then no sway will occur(natural spin turn). C.B.M This is the action of turning the opposite hip and shoulder towards the moving foot .It is used before all turns to assist the turn. When explaining to a pupil it is simple to say it is the same as turning the handle bars of a bicycle.CBM is also used on the 1st step of a feather where ,allthough no turn is being made it is used to prepare to step outside the partner and to maintain hip contact . C.B.M.P This is a foot position.It is when 1 foot is placed either directly in front of, or directly behind the other foot on the same track.It is used when stepping outside the partner or when the partner is stepping outside.It is also frequently used in Tango where ,due to the right shoulder lead ,all forward steps on the left foot or back steps on the right foot, are in CBMP , There is 1 exception ,step 4 0 R T with the partner outside,where due to the fact that step 3 is in CBMP and step 4 is made in the same direction it is not possible to have CBMP.It is possible however ,to have CBMP on 2 adjacent steps but they must be in a differnt direction (reverse pivot).It is possible to have aCBM and CBMP on the same step . Foward Walk Commence with thge feet together with the weight on the left foot .The right foot moves forward first on the ball,then as it passes the toe of the left foot (supporting foot),the heel is in contact with the floor.At this point the heel of the supporting foot is released from the floor. At the full extent of the stride,the weight is evenly devided between the heel of moving foot(right foot)and the ball of the supporting foot (left foot).The toe of the moving foot is IMMEDIATELY lowered, and the supporting foot is drawn in with the pressure on the ball. As the feet pass ,the movement is begun again ,with the moving foot becoming the left foot .(i.e. weight is now on the right foot the left moving foward).

BACKWARD WALK Again start with the feet together ,weight on the right foot.The left foot moves back (moving foot) first on the ball ,then onto the toe ,then onto the ball again.The supporting toe is then released and at the full extent of the stride the weight is equally divided between the ball of the moving foot and the heel of the supporting foot .The moving heel is then slowly lowered the supporting foot is drawn in ,pressure on the heel.Continue reversing the feet as in the forward walk.
