backstep

Backstep is a dance move that involves stepping backward while maintaining a forward-facing position. It is commonly used in various dance styles, including ballroom, Latin, and social dances. The move is executed by shifting the weight from the front foot to the back foot, then stepping backward with the front foot, and finally bringing the back foot forward to complete the step. Backstep is often used to change direction or to move diagonally across the dance floor. It can be performed in different variations, such as a quick backstep or a slower, more controlled movement. The backstep is a fundamental skill in dance, as it allows dancers to navigate the dance floor efficiently and effectively. It is typically taught as part of the basic dance techniques in dance classes and workshops.
