Footwork (cricket)
Footwork in the sport of cricket refers to the technique a batsman employs as he or she faces a delivery from the opposing bowler. The two primary categories of conventional footwork include batsmen's shots played off the front foot, and shots played off the back foot. A right-handed batsman's front foot is the left; the back foot is the right. Typically, the conventional batsman will employ a front foot shot for deliveries of a fuller length (i.e., pitching closer to the batsman), and a back foot shot for deliveries of shorter length. Because of the leverage the batsman can create with his or her feet, front foot shots usually result in the ball being played in front of the batsman, while back foot shots result in the ball being played behind the batsman's wicket.Martin CroweThe perils of ignoring footwork.ESPNcricinfo.

Footwork (dance)
Footwork refers to dance technique aspects related to feet: foot position and foot action. The following aspects of footwork may be considered: *Dance technique: a proper footwork may be vital for proper posture and movement of a dancer. *Aesthetic value: some foot positions and actions are traditionally considered appealing, while other ones are ugly, although this depends on the culture. *Artistic expression: a sophisticated footwork may in itself be the goal of the dance expression. Different dances place different emphasis on the above aspects. Ballet There are five basic dance positions that are necessary to dance ballet. Each dance move in ballet starts and ends in one of the five positions. # First Position- The back of the heels touch while the balls of the feet are facing outwards, completely. # Second Position- The same as first position but with the length of a foot in between the heels. # Third Position- Start off in second position and slide on foot back so that t ...

Footwork (genre)
Footwork, also called juke, footwork/juke or Chicago juke, is a genre of electronic music derived from ghetto house with elements of hip hop, first appearing in Chicago in the late 1990s. The music style evolved from the earlier, rapid rhythms of ghetto house, a change pioneered by RP Boo. It may draw from the rapid rhythms and sub-bass frequencies of drum & bass. Tracks also frequently feature heavily syncopated samples from rap, pop and other sources, and are often around 160 bpm. Footwork is also a style of house dance, closely associated with juke music, and typified by very fast and chaotic feet moves. Etymology The name "footwork" given to the genre refers to the footwork dance that accompanies it and is characterized by very fast structured footwork (dance). The arguably first mention of the term "footwork" within the ghetto house scene of Chicago was WaxMaster's "Foot work" track in 1995. ''Footwerk'' and ''footwurk'' are two other forms of the term sometimes used to ...

Footwork (martial Arts)
Footwork is a martial arts and combat sports term for the general usage of the legs and feet in stand-up fighting. Footwork involves keeping balance, closing or furthering the distance, controlling spatial positioning, and/or creating additional momentum for strikes. Basic incarnations of footwork Boxing footwork The characteristic footwork employed by most of the world's major boxing and kickboxing styles, such as Western boxing and Muay Thai, has changed little over the centuries, and has remained largely invariable between radically different cultures. The boxer relies on 'push stepping'. In which the leading leg advances first, then the rear, with the feet coming to rest in the exact relative position. Rear movement is a reversal of this step, and lateral movement involves push stepping in the same fashion, with the foot closest to the desired direction stepping laterally, followed by the opposite foot, which is used to move the body. For the pugilist, footwork is to ...

International Formula 3000
The Formula 3000 International Championship was a motor racing series created by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in 1985 to become the final preparatory step for drivers hoping to enter Formula One. Formula Two had become too expensive, and was dominated by works-run cars with factory engines; the hope was that Formula 3000 would offer quicker, cheaper, more open racing. The series began as an open specification, then tyres were standardized from 1986 onwards, followed by engines and chassis in 1996. The series ran annually until 2004, and was replaced in 2005 by the GP2 Series. The series was staged as the Formula 3000 European Championship in 1985, as the Formula 3000 Intercontinental Championship in 1986 and 1987 and then as the Formula 3000 International Championship from 1988 to 2004. Engines Formula 3000 replaced Formula Two, and was so named because the engines used were limited to 3000cc maximum capacity. Initially, the Cosworth DFV was a popular ch ...
