Lateral Push-and-Slide Drill

Slide laterally two steps to the right and two steps to the left by pushing off the trailing foot, keeping feet wide without ever clicking them together.

Key points

  • Push off the inside edge of the back foot to propel lateral movement
  • Lift and lead with the lead foot into the direction of travel
  • Keep feet apart at all times without letting them touch or cross

Common mistakes

Clicking heels together or crossing feet, which destroys lateral balance.
