Prancing

Coaching cues

• Stand with feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, arms relaxed or in a gentle running swing for balance.
• Shift weight to your right forefoot and press through the ball of the foot to lift the right heel high; keep the knee soft, not locked.
• Keep the left heel lightly on the ground as you rise on the right, maintaining an upright torso and braced core.
• Lower the right heel under control as you transfer weight to the left forefoot.
• Lift the left heel high while the right foot returns to flat, continuing to alternate sides in a smooth rhythm.
• Maintain even tempo, forefoot contact, and neutral ankles (don’t roll outward or inward).
• Breathe steadily and stop before losing form or bouncing excessively.
