Understanding the move

How it goes

  • The feet stay close together; the upper body leans a little the opposite way from the knees.
  • The hands stay near the thighs, elbows bent out, fingers pointing down.

Usual mistakes

  • Standing all the way up between steps: the step loses its low, tucked look.
  • Letting the knees drift apart: they move together, as if glued.
