Penultimate to Block Step Approach Drill
Practice the approach footwork by driving through a long penultimate step into a rapid block step, swinging arms back and sticking the plant position. Key points: - Extend the penultimate stride to lower center of mass smoothly - Plant the lead foot firmly into the block step to brake forward momentum - Synchronize deep backward arm swing into the plant Common mistakes: Stutter-stepping into the plant or forgetting the arm swing.
