Return to your normal stance and repeat on the other side.
About Overhead Cross Step
Overhead Cross Step combines crossing footwork with raised arms. Cross steps narrow and change the support beneath you, making the foot placement a key detail to preview.
What to focus on
- Watch which foot crosses and where it lands.
- Return to a stable stance before switching sides.
Make the movement smaller
Learn the crossing path with hands low and stable support nearby. Choose a plain side step if crossing is unsuitable.
A mistake to watch for
Raising the arms before the feet are steady. Rehearse the footwork first.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Overhead Cross Step. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
Where you will practice it
It first appears on day 2 of the Standing Beginner 30-Day Plan. The day count below follows the extended version; shorter days can use fewer movements.
