and knees. Due to the medium rise, the knees will be kept slightly flexed and the feet<br />
placement in the moment of rise will be on the Ball.<br />
NFR (no foot rise) occurs when body and knees produce elevation, but the feet are kept<br />
flat. Example: step 1 of Natural Tum for the lady.<br />
FOOTWORK<br />
This describes part or parts of the foot in contact with the floor during a step. It is to be<br />
noted that the footwork described refers to the end of a step and does not include the way<br />
the foot is used throughout the whole step. Example: on all normal walks back, the footwork<br />
is described as TH, however the moving foot will first start to move back Flat and passing<br />
through Ball before achieving the Toe and finally lowering the Heel.<br />
OFF- BEAT STEPS<br />
Some of the figures added do not comply with three steps/ three beats construction.<br />
Therefore introduction of Off- Beat timing is necessary.<br />
When dancing off-beat figures, the rhythmical division is at the discretion of the dancer.<br />
For the purpose of clarity, the division given in charts is 2 beats (1, 2) on the first step and<br />
1 beat (3) on the second step of the figure danced.<br />
CBMP<br />
The placing of the stepping foot onto or across the line of the other foot, forward or back,<br />
thus giving an appearance of CBM being used but without turning the body.<br />
CBM<br />
A body action used to initiate tum. It is the moving of the opposite side of the body towards<br />
the stepping foot, either forward or backward. Due to positioning of the lady on man's<br />
right side, the amount of CBM does not present a problem in Natural turning figures,<br />
however should be limited when dancing Reverse turning figures.<br />
PIVOT<br />
A form of stationary tum made on the ball of one foot with foot flat. When taking the<br />
pivot backward typical footwork will be BHB to allow body weight to move forward into<br />
next movement.<br />
PIVOTING ACTION<br />
1be counterpart of Natural Pivot, it is a turn to the right on ball of RF with foot flat.<br />
SIDE LEADING<br />
When same side of the body moves with the stepping foot at the time of taking a step<br />
either forward or back, usually before an outside step. It includes shoulder and hip leads.<br />
When side leading is used as part of preparation for an outside step, the step taken will<br />
be slightly more opened than normally<br />
