Ball change is a dance move that consists of two steps: a partial weight transfer on the ball of a foot (placed e.g., behind), followed by a step on the other foot.[1]
Kick ball change is a dance move that consists of a kick followed by the ball change.[2] Normally it uses a split-beat count: 1&2 or 1a2 and has a syncopated feeling, i.e., the accent of the motion is on "two".
The move consists of three distinct actions[2] and can be started with any foot.[citation needed]
Details of each of the three actions vary depending on dance and styling preferences.
Heel ball change is a dance move popular in line dances. On count "1" the heel touches the floor forward. On count "&2" the ball change is done starting with the same foot. The whole move is done in place.
