What This Module Trains 🎯

Crossovers on every count, forward and back, then the skip that turns them into bicycles.

The Moves 🧠

Lesson 1.

Full Crossover. You cross on every single count, 1 to 8, traveling forward all the time.

  • Forward Bicycle: jump slightly back on each and count, so you don't travel as much.

Lesson 2.

Full Back Cross. Start with your left crossing back and keep going until you reach your 8.

  • Backward Bicycle: skip to the front on each and as you cross back.

Half Bicycle. A Forward Bicycle on 1, 2, 3, then a Backward Bicycle on 5, 6, 7.

How the Drill Runs πŸ”

  1. Full Crossover, then the Forward Bicycle
  2. Full Back Cross, then the Backward Bicycle
  3. Half Bicycle

Technique Cues πŸ’‘

  • It's not a jump up. It's a skip on one leg.
  • Keep your upper body straight, so you isolate only your legs.

πŸ’‘ Drill it: slow first, then speed it up.

🎯 Community

Practice without judging yourself. Every dancer started exactly where you are. Be patient. This lands in the body over months, not days. Record yourself. You will see things you cannot feel. Post it in the community tab, or on Instagram tagging the page.
