Description

A tiny jump outward with straight legs, landing on the balls of both feet with the feet apart. You barely leave the floor; it feels more like scooting backward on your toes than jumping. Both feet land at once, making one sound, and the weight ends on both feet.

Practice Tips

  • Stay low. The move should skim the floor, so if you feel real air under you, you've jumped too high.
  • Keep the knees straight and land both balls at exactly the same moment.
