In the movement Right Face, which foot acts as the pivot?

• A. Pivot on the right heel and ball of the left foot, with the left foot remaining as anchor.
• B. Pivot on the left heel and ball of the right foot, with the right foot anchor.
• C. Pivot on both feet simultaneously.
• D. Step forward with the left foot and rotate torso.

Answer: (A)

Right Face is a 90-degree turn to the right performed around a single planted foot. The foot you choose as the pivot stays in place, with the heel and ball of that foot kept against the ground, while the other foot moves around to complete the turn. In this movement, the right foot acts as the pivot and the left foot remains in place as the anchor during the rotation. As you rotate, your body turns to face the new direction and the left foot moves into its new position to finish the maneuver. This setup is what gives a clean, in-place 90-degree turn; stepping or rotating both feet would not achieve the same controlled pivot.
