    ● Ball Change-A 2 step move where you transfer the weight of one
    foot behind or by the other foot. You're basically just stepping
    twice.Another name is “the kickball change”,which suggests you kick
    or scuff your feet before the ball changes.

    supports the harmony.It Consists of 4 voice ranges

    *Different instruments like Drums or Guitars can produce a bass
    sound.Dancers often use the onomatopoeia “BooM!” to describe a bass
    drum sound.
