Kick ball change

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

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.
