Which term describes a single step-like weight transfer from one foot to the other laterally?

• A. Cross-Over
• B. Pivot
• C. Foot to Foot
• D. Lateral Shift

Answer: (C)

Foot to foot is a step-like weight transfer where you move your weight from one foot to the other in a lateral direction. This involves lifting enough to replant on the opposite foot, creating a new base of support without sliding or twisting in place. The key idea is the discrete transfer from one stance foot to the other, like taking a small step sideways to re-balance for the next part of the turn. This contrasts with a lateral shift, which is a continuous weight move without changing feet, and with a cross-over, where the feet or lower body move in relation to each other in a way that crosses the reference stance, and with a pivot, which is rotating around a point rather than transferring weight to the other foot. Foot to foot specifically describes that single, step-like lateral transfer.
