Hips - rotate to offset the chest, light bounce and lean into the next step
Front Legs - drag back on the passing position, land with a little toe flop
Back Legs - drag back, lift up and land with a little overlap in the toes
Tail - overlaps the swing of the hips with a little extra bounce and recoil
