Skips can be a difficult step for early elementary to beginning ballet students. They require more technique in a single moment than most other steps done in this age group. And they require a higher level of coordination. Add to that the fact that many kids today don’t run and jump and play outside today like kids used to generations ago, and skips become a challenging step for young children.
