X Jumps

What This Module Trains 🎯

One groove, two versions: you step it, then you jump it.

The Move 🧠

Open and Close. You cross in the middle on 1 and open out on 2, so on the odd counts you are in the middle crossed and on the even counts you are out on a point of the X.

• Down on 1, up on 2.

X Jumps. It is the same thing as the open and close, but instead of stepping we are going to be jumping, jump, jump, jump, jump, and your body needs to be diagonal so you draw the lines of the X with it.

Single Single Double. A quick variation where you go the regular 2 3 4 5 and then do it two times here on the right diagonal, 6 7, then you repeat the move starting the other way and do it two times here to the left, 6 7 8.
