What This Module Trains 🎯

Side step variations, working Angles and turns.

The Move 🧠

Pas de bourrée. This is going to be like a pas de bourrée, or a cross back, open, cross front, and this is the step that we are going to be using a lot here.

Body roll. How it feels like is like a wave, like you are going like a roller coaster, you are going in and 1, up, down.

Angles: cross back, open, cross front, tap, kick, back on 4 and 5.
Turns: prep, turn, cross back, prep the other way.
Jumps: down on 1 2 3, jump on 4, back then front.

How the Drill Runs 🔁

Angles.
Body roll.
Tootsie Roll.
Spins and jumps.

Technique Cues 💡

Lean left, push back, flick your legs. That is the kick.
Drag your abs, squeeze your glutes.
Spot on the turns so you do not get dizzy.

💡 Drill it: keep on practising. Day after day you practise the same moves, the same steps, and you are just going to be getting better and better every single day.
