The foot you step back on is very important. With a few exceptions (i.e. manspin), you should make a habit as a man of stepping back on your left foot.

Why?? In the Club Jive style we step back on whatever foot to present the body at the desired angle to your partner ... sometimes you'll want to face, sometimes twist away, other times you'll want your back to her ... so I'm not sure that a prescriptive 'stepback' is usefull.

As for Stuart's comments .... I think for a clubby style there doesn't neccesairly have to be bouncing .... personaly I like the hip-hop version of kick/ball-change and lunging into positions .... how you describe that in precise footwork terms I dunno ... when you see what we do at the weekend maybe you'll be able to tell me
