X Stance
This stance is performed standing on one leg with the ball of the other foot touching the floor next to it with the feet almost parallel; therefore it has virtually no length or width.  The weight is distributed on the stationary leg with the ball of the other foot touching the floor slightly and with the non-supporting leg crossed either in front or behind it (usually crossed in front when stepping and behind when jumping) with both legs bent.  This stance is named for the stationary leg and is performed full, side, or half facing.
