Why

We gave the Forward Walk a fair bashing didn't we. What about one of the most misunderstood steps, which is a walk beckwards male or female. But only one part. The book has us lowering the supporting heel to the floor only as the ball of the moving foot passes. Page 13 Alex Moore. Why is it necessary to do it this way. Why not lower earlier
All you English and Italians. The World Cup Soccer is about to start. Off to the TV now.

Why not lower earlier. Because the lowering after the heel touches the floor through the knee is a continuence of the lowering. Can't be done any other way unless the flexing of the knee is omitted. In other words the moving foot gets trapped unless there is an absence of a compressed knee which is a mistake trying to correct a mistake.Then you can say goodbye to a free flowing Foxtrot
