Supporting Foot
The foot that is bearing the body's weight. One of the challenges in dance is to keep all your weight balanced over that foot. If you don't, you will be pushing your partner off balance or asking him or her to support some of your weight—not good. Teachers talk about the body as a pile of boxes: the head, torso, hips, legs, and the need to keep the pile neatly aligned, or it will topple. Unexpectedly, the head is the heaviest box. Keep it up. Don't look around. Don't look down. You'll pull the pile over.
