What This Module Trains 🎯
The basic Heel Twist. The steps are not so important: what matters is twisting the hips, the same motion as in the Suzy Q or the crossovers. Keep your upper body fixed, like hands on a wall, bend your knees and switch your hips from one side to the next.
The Moves 🧠
Lesson 1.
Heel Twist. Cross on 1 with the left, open on 2, back on 3, then repeat on 5, 6, 7, putting your heel down and twisting your hips right, left, right.
- Shift your weight towards the heel and it bounces you back.
- Pitch your body slightly forward.
Toe Twist. The same move on your toe, for followers dancing in high heels.

Technique Cues 💡
