Feet TurnFeet TurnThe amount of turn made with the feet between each step.



Body TurnBody TurnBody movement to initiate turns or to change body positions or both.
CBM (Contrary Body Movement) is the moving of the opposite side of the body towards the stepping foot, forward or backward.
Side leading is when the same side of the body moves with the stepping foot, forward or backward.



Rise and FallRise and FallHeight change by stretching and bending the foot and knee joints.
NFR (No Foot Rise) is when the rise is felt through the legs and body but when stepping back no rise occurs the supporting foot.



SwaySwayThis is the natural inclination of the body to the left or right from the ankles upwards.
A body tilt only above the waist is called a Broken Sway.
