At one point, I had the dancer going back and forth instead of rotating, so that her moving foot was always behind her pivot foot.

I can get that too. Whenever I focus on her pivot foot, it seems like the toes on that foot are pointed away from me. If I want to switch the direction, I just focus on that foot and she seems to bounce back in the other direction, and if I keep focusing on that foot she seems to bounce back and forth with her stuck-out leg farther away than her pivot leg.

Yeah, I can get that. It was a lot harder but I finally got her moving foot in front of her pivot foot instead. Mental exercise for the day. I wonder if there would be external value in training your brain on adjusting these ambiguous images (the Necker Cube being a non-animated one).
