Forward Hops
Small two-foot hops traveling forward on the balls of the feet, the hands held at the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, hands together at the chest, weight on the balls of the feet.
Steps
- Hop forward a short distance off both feet.
- Land softly on the balls of the feet and spring into the next hop.
- Keep the hops small and quick.
Common mistakes
Landing on the heels: stay on the balls of the feet. Jumping too far: short hops keep the rhythm. Knees locking on the landing: keep them soft.
Breathing
Exhale on each hop; steady rhythm.
