Now, one thing with gliding, is, well, what it actually is, is you want to do something to make it look like you're gliding or your foot is just gliding over the top of the ground. Alright? So what you want to do with that is all in how you transfer your weight. If you're going to make your right foot glide, then you want to transfer all of your weight to your left leg. So, weight transfer is a big part of dancing, you have to learn when and where to transfer your weight. So with this movement, your weight is transferred to your left foot so your right foot can do whatever it wants to do.
