Section 3.03 Meia-‐lua de Costas 1st point Left foot Feet position 2 Feet position 3 Feet position 1 1st point Right Left foot pivot on front ball part of foot Right foot pivot on back ball part of foot the heel The following diagram demonstrates the positions your feet should be in when turning. This is a pivot turn. When you turn from one side to the other, your legs will be in a slight twist. From the position we were in when we started the movement, your left foot should be facing your opponent as in the first point. When you start to pivot you should pivot on the front ball of your left foot. 30
Feet position 4 Feet position 5 Final feet position 6 You will pivot on the ball or heel of your right foot. Do not exaggerate lifting your foot when pivoting. You want to have a smooth transition. Each position above is a breakdown of the total turning movement. Once you have learned how to execute this movement you should be able to do it in one complete turn maintaining eye contact with your opponent. This will probably be one of the most difficult movements presented in these illustrations of <strong>Capoeira</strong>. 31
