Hello,
I have 2 questions about the “Single bumps on 1/2 turn” - I learned this step at a workshop (TribalCon perhaps, or maybe the G.S I took shortly after that, I can’t quite recall though) and would like to add it to my regular vocabulary.
I understand how to queue it, but something my students are having trouble with is how to turn it. I am a heel turner for 90% or more of my turns and spins and that is how I turn this step, but one girl said her heel was on fire from the turning.
How do you all turn this?
And another question - it seem more like it is hip bump to the corner and a pause to step off for the turn rather than really hitting both the front and back of the single bumps. Am I correct is understanding what I am seeing on my volume 7 performance clip and on this video:

Re: Single bumps on 1/2 turn - 2 questions
Sat, May 16, 2009 - 3:33 PMThe way I learned it, it's a step to the front left corner with the right foot, then as you pivot, touch with the right foot close to the pivoting left foot, pivot and step to the rear right corner, touch close to left foot again as you complete the turn. It's almost like a smoothed-out quarter turn, with the emphasis on front left and rear right corners. I don't know if I'm articulating this properly. I use the ball of my left foot to pivot. -

I did a workshop this weekend, and we covered, single bump 1/2 turns. Margret described it beautifully. I also use ball of left foot to pivot, but keep heel quite low.
