Thank you so much, this is just what I needed. If possible could you do a tutorial on forward and backward power circle, CW & ACW? That would be amazing 💕

I struggle with rotating my body enough and quickly when doing alternating crossovers down the axis.

[@nextedgetutorials]

I need to do a tutorial on this. Can you DM us on our next edge Instagram that way I can break it down for you 😉❤️

[@rickr530]

Just when I start to get comfortable with my crossovers, the toe pick of one foot crashes into the heel of the other and I get paranoid again :(

[@nextedgetutorials]

Just keep working on them and the more you do, the better they will get 😉❤️❤️
