A slide where the front foot glides on its heel. Run or push off one leg so both feet travel along the floor without lifting. The front foot keeps only the back edge of its heel on the floor, toe raised, while it glides.

Practice Tips
- Lean slightly away from the digging heel. If you lean into it, the heel presses into the floor and stops the slide.
- Get the distance from the push-off, and try it on a clean, smooth floor first.
