ichidan verb
change one's step; shift footing
Used when adjusting or changing the position of one's feet, such as in dance, sports, or when regaining balance. The gloss 'to change, e.g. step' suggests a broader sense, but typical usage is limited to footwork.
ダンスの最中に素早く踏み替える。
Quickly change steps during the dance.
彼はバランスを崩して、とっさに足を踏
He lost his balance and instantly shifted his footing.
