Ball change

Ball change is a dance move that consists of two steps: a partial weight transfer on the ball of a foot (placed e.g., behind), followed by a step on the other foot.[1]

Kick ball change

Kick ball change is a dance move that consists of a kick followed by the ball change.[2] Normally it uses a split-beat count: 1&2 or 1a2 and has a syncopated feeling, i.e., the accent of the motion is on "two".

The move consists of three distinct actions[2] and can be started with any foot.

  • "One": A kick or flick with the left foot. After the kick the foot naturally swings back
  • "And": Slightly push off the floor by the ball of the left foot behind or by the right foot (partial weight transfer).
  • "Two": Step with the right foot.

Details of each of the three actions vary depending on dance and styling preferences.

Heel ball change

Heel ball change is a dance move popular in line dances. On count "1" the heel touches the floor forward. On count "&2" the ball change is done starting with the same foot. The whole move is done in place.

gollark: If I had to get a heatsink case I would just get that one, since it seems to actually be available conveniently in the UK.
gollark: I will never understand why the RPi Foundation thought their plastic cases were sensible.
gollark: Do they stream in cinema aspect ratio? Also, I'm okay with not having those on my phone.
gollark: I don't think you can get cinema movies yourself very easily, and it's a bit of an odd reason to make the phone excessively tall or add a notch.
