How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet close together, arms up in a loose, relaxed guard.
  2. Hop a small distance to one side, landing light on the balls of your feet, then hop straight back the other way - bouncing side to side over an imaginary line in a steady rhythm.
  3. Your feet can land naturally, one a beat ahead of the other; what matters is staying springy, landing soft, and keeping the lateral rhythm going.
