while the other is extended over your head
float a foot movement where you switch between putting weight on the toe and the heel so smoothly it looks like you are floating or gliding across the floor
floor sweep to sweep the floor in a circular motion with your foot and then move backwards on the other one
isolation moving one part of your body while you keep the rest still
jerking a movement where you bounce from one side to the other using your knees, keeping low to the ground, a âgrooveâ
kick step a low kick to the front followed by the opposite leg stepping out to the side
locking a series of locking movements where you perform a quick movement, lock into another position and then hold the last position for a beat. Usually your bottom half is relaxed while your top half does all the work!
popping this is quickly contracting and relaxing your muscles so it causes a jerk in your body. You usually perform it with other moves or poses.
reebok a travelling groove step where you rock from side to side using your feet, and your arms follow your body round
running man where one knee bends up to the front while the other shuffles back; you should stay in the one spot
side somersault a cartwheel performed with out any hands on the floor
walk-it-out sitting low and keeping your knees bent, your legs twist from side to side while moving forward
wave where your body stays still while you hold your arms out so it looks like a wave is moving fluidly from one hand to the other
wop a bouncing groove where your knees bounce with the emphasis on the upbeat, and your arms and head swing left to right
