Move of the Week: Learn the Skating Step

This week we are looking at skating, this move looks deceptively simple but there are a number of elements to the move.

Break down each part: the twist, the weight change and leg hitch and the arms.

Once the elements come together this dance move has a sunny happy feel with a little bit of coquettish twist. When the pointy finger switches, this is a little light bulb moment so add some flavour with a little whoop or just a cheeky face.

If this doesn't come together instantly don't worry, practice it in parts as it's a beautiful feeling once you get it.
