How to do it

Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, facing perpendicular to the direction you plan to travel.
Cross one foot over the front of the other and step out to the side, rotating the hips to allow the crossover.
Follow by crossing the trailing foot behind the lead foot, keeping the steps quick and the knees driving through the quadriceps.
Continue alternating crossing steps in front and behind as you travel sideways, staying light on the balls of the feet through the calves.
Keep your arms swinging naturally for balance and breathe in rhythm with the quick steps.
Avoid crossing the feet so tightly that you stumble; keep enough width between the feet to stay stable.
