Foot Placements

There are three ways to place your feet when taking a forward step which are:

1. Heel Toe: Heel strikes the floor first followed by the toe
2. Toe heel: Toe strikes the floor first followed by the lowering of the heel.
3. Toe Release: Toe is folded as it passes the supporting leg, once passed the supporting leg the toe is unfolded or released and followed by a heel toe walk.

Followers are advised to practise all three modes of walking. Most Pro’s use two or even three of the above technique depending on the type of music. ( I think Brandi Tobias generally prefers toe heel while Tatiana prefers toe release ).
