What is the movement of half left face?

• A. Pivot 90 degrees on the left heel and ball of the right foot.
• B. Turn 180 degrees in place.
• C. Pivot 45 degrees on your left heel and ball of the right foot; on the 2nd count bring the left heel smartly to the right heel.
• D. Pivot 45 degrees on the right heel and ball of the left foot; on the 2nd count bring the right heel to the left heel.

Answer: (C)

Half left face means turning your direction to the left by 45 degrees, not a full 90-degree turn. To do this, pivot on the left heel and the ball of the right foot, allowing your body to rotate about that contact point. On the second count, bring the left heel smartly to the right heel to complete the turn and end facing 45 degrees to the left. This keeps the cadence and the step length consistent.

The other options describe different movements: a 90-degree pivot on the left heel and ball of the right foot would give a full left face, not half; turning 180 degrees in place is an about-face; and pivoting 45 degrees on the right heel and ball of the left foot with the right heel to the left would be a half right face.
