Stand very wide (more than shoulder width), feet turned outwards, arms supported on the hips, folded on the chest/behind the head or in front at chest height, bend the knees slightly (more than 90 degrees in the knee joint), small jump and bring the legs together to a narrow (almost upright) stance, cushion the jump slightly and bend the knees again slightly in a flowing movement as you land (approximately the same angle as before), open the legs again to the starting position with another small jump.

Attention:
Bend your knees towards the tips of your feet. Landing and holding position with the whole foot on the floor. Keep your back straight at all times.

Lighten:
Do not lower your body too low (greater angle at the knees); smaller jumps (open your legs less).
