Front Closed Lion – Description

The Front Closed Lion is a one-footed move that starts on a front outside edge and finishes on a back inside edge. It is recommended that you are comfortable rolling in both of those positions before you try this move.

The rolling foot should roll in a trajectory the shape of a #3, and the raised leg is typically trailing behind the rolling leg, with the knees/hips pointing toward each other. It can help to initiate this turn by pushing off with the non-rolling foot, or by crossing the rolling foot over the non-rolling foot (crossover). It also helps to lean into the turn while on the front outside edge, and again on the back inside edge during the exit of the move.

On all forward wizard moves, it is easiest to pivot on the front wheels, meaning your weight should be in the ball of your foot.
