Step Touch, Jump Touch
Shift your weight side to side while holding a diamond shape in this step-touch and jump-touch exercise. Start with the feet slightly turned out, in a V, less than in a ballet class.
The step touch has a big level change: bend the knees, keep the upper body straight and don't let it flap over. Opening, the second foot goes to a high forced arch. The jump touch stays low in a deep plié, with the hips taking you side to side.
Hands join in the second eight count, starting from a prayer position.
