Ball change is a dance move that consists of two steps: a partial weight transfer on the ball of a foot (placed e.g., behind), followed by a step on the other foot.
[2] Normally it uses a split-beat count: 1&2 or 1a2 and has a syncopated feeling, i.e., the accent of the motion is on "two".
The move consists of three distinct actions[2] and can be started with any foot.
[citation needed] Details of each of the three actions vary depending on dance and styling preferences.
On count "&2" the ball change is done starting with the same foot.
