Technique

1. Stand on level ground and spread your weight across the balls of both feet.
2. Lift the heels, balance briefly at the top and lower them until they touch down quietly.

Common mistakes

• Rolling onto the little toes takes pressure off the inner forefoot. Keep the base of each big toe down.
