This is notorious for being overlooked : rather than crossing the foot over and leaving the heel of the other foot unturned , as you collect, pivot using contrabody motion to have both heels and feel parallel to the direction you will project your foot into the backstep/back Ocho .
This will helps you to
- not to collapse the back heel and also
- not to break the flow of movement in the moulinette
- Not to drag your partner off axis as you venture out rather than around him
Video coming soon !
