Step Through

a) not obeying Economy of Motion principle / Create a stable base rule:

i) creating too many adjustments with feet:

1) breaking the heel (lifting/moving rear of foot before moving front of foot)

2) adjusting/rotating feet prior to/during foot maneuvers

3) adjusting the foot not used in a foot maneuver

4) re-adjusting foot used in foot maneuver, after maneuver

 

b) improper pivoting:

i) executing a twist through instead of a step through (splitting timing of distance/rotation during foot maneuver)

 

c) executing a cat stance as a separate motion – i.e. holding cat stance too long
