Balance
is often called from Alamo style; it can be done several ways.
Here's one way to balance:
small
step
forward (transferring weight) and pause
other foot forward:
touch
, without transferring weight
step
back with the free foot (transferring weight) and pause
touch
with other foot
Summarizing, this is ‘step, touch, step, touch’.
