Grapevine

Also called: grapevine pattern

Definition

A travelling pattern that crosses on 1, steps to the side (slightly forward) on 2, and goes back on 3, then repeats to travel in a clean straight line. Anticipating the back step by positioning slightly forward is key, and it can be styled with a bounce.
