Open the hips by dropping one foot back and pivoting, then step out on the new line.

Composes: turn-and-face + shift-weight + walk

• Use a sequence with loop:false. A loaded step (knee bend), then swing faceDeg ~90 with a small forward step.
• durationMs ~1100.

Example

• "do a drop step" -> {"durationMs":1100,"say":"Drop step.","sequence":{"loop":false,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"Spine":[8,0,0],"LeftUpLeg":[40,0,0],"LeftLeg":[40,0,0]},"root":{"faceDeg":0}},{"t":1,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[0,0,180],"LeftLeg":[0,0,0],"Spine":[0,0,0]},"root":{"faceDeg":-90,"z":0.4}}]}}

Limits & posture

Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
