Bryan: I need to know which foot is free (has no weight on it). For example, some women go into the cross but DON"T put weight on the left foot. I need to know so I don't lead her to step with her right foot, which is the support foot. I like to forward ochos (I'm moving backwards, but WITH the line of dance (LOD). I stop the ochos with my frame. Sometimes, the woman will continue to pivot and step forward, right into me. I need to know when she has stopped moving.
