MOVEMENT
1 cycle = 10 movements
Total: 8 cycles
SP for the exercise: The partners face the centre of the circle, one behind the other.
Arms: The right arm is extended to the right side horizontally. The left arm is folded in front of the chest, forearm parallel to the right arm. Palms are down.
Legs: The weight of the body is on the right foot. The left foot is to the left and touches the ground with stretched toes.
1: Swinging to the left.
Arms: Both arms outline descending semicircles down and to the left side. The arms move parallel, close to the body, with palms to the body. The left arm becomes horizontal, the right in front of the chest, forearm parallel to the left arm, palms down.
Legs: The toes of the left foot move slightly to the left and the left foot steps. The weight of the body gradually transfers to it while the toes of the right foot lift slightly off the ground and move a little to the left.
Duration: 1 measure
2: Swinging to the right.
Arms and legs: symmetrical to 1, to the right.
Duration: 1 measure
3: Swinging to the left.
Arms and legs: = 1

4: Turning to the right/forwards.
п прр
Arms: Both arms outline descending semicircles down and to the right side. Simultaneously the body turns to the right and the arms reach horizontal position forwards, parallel, palms down.
Legs: The toes of the right foot move to the right with toes forward and the right foot steps with toes pointing to the right (forwards). The weight of the body gradually transfers to it while the heel of the left foot takes off and the foot rotates on toes to the right (forward).
Duration: 1 measure
5: Step forwards.
Arms: Both arms rise slowly forwards and upwards at 45 degrees, parallel, palms forwards and upwards.
Legs: The left foot moves to the front and steps, the weight of the body transfers to it. The right foot remains on toes, to the back.
Duration: 1 measure
Movements 1-5 repeat symmetrically right/left with one's back to the centеr
6: Turning and swinging to the right.
Arms: Both arms outline descending semicircles to the right side, while simultaneously the body turns to the right. The right arm reaches a position horizontal to the right side, while the left is folded in front of the chest, forearm parallel to the right arm. Arms move parallel one to another with palms down.
Legs: The toes of the right foot move to the right with toes out and the right foot steps with toes pointing out. The weight of the body gradually transfers to it while the toes of the left foot lift slightly off the ground and move a little to the right.
Duration: 1 measure
7: Swinging to the left.
Arms and legs: symmetrical to 2 (to the left)
8: Swinging to the right.
Arms and legs: symmetrical to 3 (to the right)
9: Turning to the left/forwards.
Arms and legs: symmetrical to 4 (to the left)
10: Step forwards.
Arms and legs: symmetrical to 5 (the right foot steps)
Movements 1-10 make up a cycle which repeats 8 times.
Movement 1 (for cycles from 2 to 8):
The movement begins from a different Starting Position: the body is turned forwards, the arms are lifted forwards and upwards. The movement which follows is again "swinging to the left".
