Twist It, You Already Know This Movement 🦶
The Heel Twist uses the same hip mechanic as your Suzy Q and Crossover.
Stay Forward and Contained
Torso slightly forward. Knees bent. Arms in front. A compact "box" of energy. in front of your body.
For the Heel Version 💡
Straighten that leg. Flex your foot. Engage the muscle that pulls your toes up toward the sky. Weight sits back over your supporting leg, makes it easy to switch and step back. Bent knee with weight forward = you get stuck.
Heel Five, Syncopated Styling 🔥
Step on the "and" before 5, present your heel on 5. This syncopation adds rhythmic texture you can drop in and out of your basic at will.
Followers in heels: try a toe-touch with an inward hip twist for an especially elegant variation.
🎯 Experiment with the Heel Five in your social dancing. Drop it in when the music calls for it.
