Advanced technologies allows us to have nice and quick search on the internet, thus reading dance stepsheet becomes much easier than before. However, in order to better understand the descriptions, we have to know well about some confusing moves.
When we say "close" the foot to the other, it can either be with or without weight, but when we say "step" to a desired position then the step involves movement and there should be weight transfer.
Another action with weight transfer is "together", which is an action to bring the non-weighted foot to the supporting foot and put the weight to the moving foot.
Some other actions without weight transfer are:
point- an action only involves toes.
touch (AKA tab)- which can be executed by using toe, heel, or flat.
dig- it is more forceful with balls or heels.
