HOW TO DO IT

Single Heel C-Turn with Component Repair

Join toe-edge departure to the known heel-side finish.

Preparation and setting

Toe traverse, both-edge stops and heel J-turn reliable; gentle clear area with turn/stop room.

Exercise sequence

  1. Plan heel finish.
  2. Traverse slowly on toe edge.
  3. Release progressively and guide leading end toward fall line.
  4. Coordinate support and new heel engagement with actual travel.
  5. Use known heel shaping and stop.
  6. Name the weak component and practise its simpler precursor before retrying.

Transfer

Use in linked pairs only after D21 is comparably controlled.

Errors addressed

Held old edge; Early new-edge catch; Missing heel shaping; Tail lash.

Success check

Single turn enters and rounds without a violent impulse, ending in deliberate heel stop.

Simplify when needed

Toe D17 for entry, D18 for heel shaping, D14 for stop; avoid full-turn repetition at higher speed.
