Line 1: Line 1:
 +=== Hop Back ===
  
 +The hop back is used to move backward.
 +
 +The pattern is "1-hop 2-hop", like skipping backwards.  The free leg is mostly straight and the free foot is turned slightly outward.
 +
 +In //hankie dances//, the hankies are held out to the sides in "balance position".
 +In //stick dances//, the stick is held vertically.  On the first hop back, the hands are held out to the sides.  They are brought in to the dancer's chest on the final hop-back before a foot-together-jump.
