Until then, here is a quick snapshot of one of an Inside Inside : One of the most fun and useful fundamental footwork patterns :

Inside Inside

 

Here is a very basic and general description of what an 'Inside Inside' is.

  • With the first touch, move the ball across the body from one inside, immediately to the other inside.
  • The second inside touch moves the ball forward and this is followed by a step forward with the other foot.

[Yes, we know that an 'inside inside' this has a few names, which are all fine, however for us we call a pattern by what types of touches are used, what the feet do in btween the touches, and whether the ball switches feet. This just makes sence to us].
