Sample Question
What is meant by being placed on the half point?

Being standing on one foot

Having the heel of the foot touching the ground

Keeping the entire foot in contact with the ground

When the pads of the first two or three toes are in contact with the ground, with the ball of the foot off the ground, it is said to be places on the half point. When placed on the half point in an open position the instep of the working foot should be arched with the knee of the working leg slightly relaxed. In a closed position the working foot should be kept as vertical as possible. When the working foot is placed on the half point the weight of the body may be momentarily taken on it; the main weight being then retained on the other foot, thus providing the impetus for any required slight elevation or travel of that (I.e the supporting foot) during the half point.
