I am seeking a step-by-step breakdown of how to execute continuous pivot turns, particularly what happens with the feet and body. An example might be in 2-step where the lady is being led to do several turning "quick-quicks" down line of dance.

Start with the lady turning to the left - what happens to the right heel as the lady takes her second half turn (second quick)? Is the heel allowed to lower?
What happens with the body to maintain the energy to continue the turns?

My experience is any body who does more than four Pivots is somebody who is trying to be spectacular. Also they are flat ( no rise and fall ) And don't get out of plumb There is nothing worse than watching a couple that have a wobble up attemting Pivots. Good Luck.

Again, i'm not enough of an expert to answer this with authority, but i think you'll find that the person going 'back' pivots on the standing heel, and the person going forward pivots on the standing ball of foot.
With the body, DON'T lean 'in' (to the centre of the turn, as you would on a bike, for exxample)as this looks bad. Maintain the closed hold shaping as much as possible.

"the person going 'back' pivots on the standing heel, and the person going forward pivots on the standing ball of foot. "

Hmmmm, can someone please verify this? We are working on our continous pivot turns and we were told that the pivot itself happens always on the ball of the foot whether you are going forward or backwoard.

Guest. It can't be a toe there is no rise or fall. It can't be a heel but does come from a heel lead when going forward. Going backwards wouldn't you say that it comes from a toe then lower.That only leaves us with a ball.
