Because the tiptoe (also known as the heel, that is, to raise the heel) can raise the head, chest, abdomen, so that the body has a good posture. When practicing, first tiptoe in the original position, and then walk forward. Since young children have poor control and are easily fatigued, the practice time should not be too long and the speed should not be too slow when walking forward. Generally cross your arms and walk at intervals according to the rhythm of the music. Tiptoe forward, generally 2/4 or 4/4 beat music is appropriate, 3/4 beat music can also be used, but should not be used more.
