and then skip 22 .<br />
Summary description<br />
Hop 4<br />
It involves standing on one foot and lifting off the ground<br />
by leaning slightly on the hopping foot side and moving<br />
the bent arms out and in for balance.<br />
Key points<br />
• Starts with balancing on one leg and bending the<br />
non-support leg<br />
• The non-support leg is swung forward like a<br />
pendulum to produce swing<br />
• The non-support foot is kept behind the body<br />
• Arms are bent and swung to produce the forward<br />
momentum<br />
• Can take off and land at least four consecutive times<br />
on either foot<br />
Summary description<br />
Side Slide 4<br />
It is like a gallop but to the side and with minimal bounce.<br />
Key points<br />
• Body is sideways so the shoulders are aligned with the<br />
line on the floor<br />
• Step sideways with the lead foot and then slide the<br />
trailing foot to a point next to the lead foot<br />
• Can do four or more continuous step-slide cycles to<br />
the right then to the left<br />
