Jasons question about footwork
Troubleshoot the pivot-step, pivot-step footwork used for turning in a circle, with emphasis on joint-friendly weight transfer. Nick Woolsey breaks down why keeping weight on both legs creates awkward torque through ankles and knees, and how a brief shift and mini-balance lets the turning foot reorient cleanly.
Drill a subtle pulse that lifts pressure off the feet as you pivot, so the knee tracks over the toe and the turn stays strong and natural. This gives you a safer, smoother base for adding poi patterns while travelling through continuous rotation.
