Alternate kicks with a jump to change- like a Russian kick
Arms are held stationary
Action:
Kick the right leg side, keep the knee up and kick the right leg front
Jump and change legs kicking the left leg side and front
Continue side and front kicks alternating legs
You can also do it in 1/2 water tempo: Kick right side, bounce center, kick right front, bounce center, kick left side, bounce center, kick left front, bounce center. This will take 8 counts instead of 4.
Arm Pattern:
There is not really an arm pattern, the arms are in “Kozak” style
Cross your bent arms over each other and hold them at water surface in front
Lower your arms if you have shoulder problems
Do not bring your arms up, higher than your head, shoulders relaxed
Cue Words: “side, front-switch, side, front-switch” or “out, front” or “russ-ian, vod-ka” :)
