How to do it

  1. Stand on one leg with a soft knee and your other foot lifted behind you.
  2. Push off sideways and land softly on the other foot, sweeping the first leg behind you.
  3. Absorb each landing by bending the knee and hip of the landing leg.
  4. Keep bounding from side to side for the set time.

Coaching cues

  • Land quietly and hold your balance for a beat before pushing off again.
  • Start with small hops and tap the free foot down for balance while you learn.
