@@learningpeace9788 For a waltz jump, you take off from the forward outside edge of one foot and then land on the opposite foot’s back outside edge, and while the toe pick is involved, you don’t “jump off” or “land on” it directly. Here’s how it works: • Takeoff: You use the forward outside edge to push off, but the toe pick provides stability and assists with the push into the jump. • Landing: You’ll land on the back outside edge of the opposite foot, but your toe pick touches down briefly to help you balance and settle into the landing. So, in short, you don’t take off or land “on” your toe pick entirely; it’s more that the toe pick is involved in the takeoff and landing phases as part of the technique.
When doing a waltz jump, must you take off and land on your toe pick?
