Now that we are leaping and dragging, let's make sure the stride leg is graceful. You do not want to kick out weird to the side, you want this leg to drive straight up and out before it turns on the way down.
When my feet turn my hips automatically open. I do not have to teach kids to rotate their hips open, its natural. Hips are closed, come out, turn my feet correctly, hips are automatically open, natural.
Alright. Height to the left leg, height to the stride leg. We have got to get the leg up in the air so we can travel, so we also have time for our arm to get around.
Watch beginners, they want to stick that foot down really quickly. We take the handy needle; if pink is her stride mark I put my needle about a foot short of her stride mark, and I raise it off the ground. You are going to have to start very low for beginners and first timers. Watch that they do not walk off the mound with the power foot.
Kasey, up and over the needle. There you go. Go back. If that's easy you raise it up, and you also can start going away from her if you want to encourage a longer stride. Up and over, very good.
Do it in on the other mound. Coming straight at you, height to the stride leg, beautiful. One more time. Beautiful. Notice her landing, 45% angle, tow the needle, and we are to the side of our power line.
