In regard to slow mark time. As it as been stated, even and smooth weight
transfer is a must. Good posture that keep the shoulders, hips and ankles
will help keep the body from trying to pitch either backward or forward.
Please check this alignment in a full length mirror or have a friend help
you. When placing the foot on the ground as it comes down from mark time,
remember not to stamp the foot down flat, but rather roll it down, toe
first, then ball, then heel. Best of Luck

Believe it or not its all in the shoulders. If you strive to keep your
shoulders level and straight your body alignment seems to stay much more
stable. Keep the soles of your feet as flat to the ground as you step
helps as well.
