Standing Scissors
Small hops that open the feet wide and then cross them, one leg in front of the other, the hands resting on the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, hands on the hips, feet wide apart.
Steps
- Hop and cross the legs, one foot landing in front of the other.
- Hop them wide again, then cross with the other leg in front.
- Land on the balls of the feet, knees soft, rhythm quick.
Common mistakes
Crossing with the same leg in front every time: alternate the front leg. Torso bobbing forward: stay tall, hands on the hips. Landing on the heels: spring off the balls of the feet.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
