COACHING POINTS

Footwork most important:

  • inside shoulders should align (e.g. Right to Right)
  • feet should be one forward one back (opposite foot forward to direction of travel)
  • feet should not cross
  • lead foot should determine direction (right foot travelling right)
  • pivot as direction changes
