Description

Spring up lightly from both feet and come down on the very tips of both toes, the front edges of the toe taps, then hold the balance there. The landing is the one sound, and your whole weight rests on the tips of the toes.

Practice Tips

  • Stack your weight straight over the toe tips; leaning forward or back tips you off them.
  • If your shoes make it hard, bend the knees deeply and place the toes well back behind you so the tips can take the weight.
