Step Touch & Jump Touch with Flexed Hands

Travel with bounce in this footwork drill of step touches and jump touches, with arms added. Start in a turned-out first position, so the knees point out as you step side to side. Don't let them fall in toward parallel.

Slow step touches go up, then sit down with the hip pushed out. Quick jump touches travel from side to side. Hands open from a prayer position with the elbows lifted and the palms squeezed together. Energy shoots out through every finger, as if pushing against a wall.
