Short - short - long - YES. Short - short - long - NO.

Coming forward with your right leg. Start a short - short - long – circle rhythm which is two tiny forward steps followed by a longer step and then a semi-circle from the left foot. Bring your back leg up to meet your first, thereby closing the feet. With your left leg start the same rhythm backwards, short - short - long – circle. Close the feet. Create a calm transition from the long step to the circle. Short - short - long – circle/Yes. Short - short - long – circle/No.

Try to keep the following in mind during the exercise:
  • Do you manage to give the long step so much impetus that the half-circle bow of the other leg arises as if quite by itself? How does this influence your center?
  • The rhythm Short – Short – Long – Long has a pulse which would like to swing you further. What do you do to create the Yes and No experience despite this?
  • Do you notice that walking the rhythm encourages your chest to accompany the movement freely and quite relaxed? Do you notice this effect in the resonance afterwards as well?
  • You can simply repeat the Short – Short – Long – Yes! sequence several times going forwards or the Short – Short – Long – No! sequence several times going backwards? How does that feel? Does it feel different from alternating between them directly?
