For beginners, mastering those fundamental single sound steps is crucial. These foundational steps form the basis for all the more advanced moves, although it can sometimes get old to practice them repeatedly. One effective way to elevate your skills and add some variety to your routine is by learning the "CRAWL." This step not only builds upon your basic toe and heel techniques but also introduces a traveling element to your repertoire.
Here's how to approach it:
⭐️Keep your feet closer together than you might initially think.
⭐️Maintain a bend in your knees throughout the entire sequence.
⭐️Ensure your feet stay parallel, with one foot never straying ahead of the other. They hit the floor at different times, but they should swivel in harmony.
⭐️Focus on shifting your weight back on your heels and forward on your toes. This adjustment will result in a more natural and fluid travel in your movements.
