Prancing
Light, quick bounces from one foot to the other on the spot, the knees lifting only a little; the spring comes from the ankles.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall on the balls of the feet, arms bent as in running.
Steps
- Bounce from one foot to the other, ankles springy.
- Let each knee lift a little as its foot leaves the floor.
- Swing the arms in time with the feet.
Common mistakes
Sinking onto the heels: stay up on the balls of the feet. Knees driving high: this is a low, quick drill, not high knees. Stiff, slapping feet: land quietly and spring straight off.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
