This skill involves the
body turning one complete rotation, while standing in
Relevé
on one foot.There
are several positions from which to begin this skill.The Lunge is one of the
simplest.Begin in
a Lunge position, with one arm in front and the other to the
side.Shift the
weight onto the ball of the front foot, and at the same time,
close the arms so that both are now in front.This initiates the turn, and the back foot pulls forward
to Coupé position.The body turns 360 degrees, with no bends at the hips or
base knee, and lowers to a flat foot, with the other foot still
in Coupé.
