Skipping is an
action usually performed by
small children in the act of
play. Skipping is defined by the
American Heritage dictionary as a
verb meaning "To move by
hopping on one foot and then the other."
To skip:
1. Decide upon a starting foot. From that foot, leap forward into the air, holding the other foot up slightly by bending the knee.
2. Land upon the same foot as the leap began, breaking your forward momentum slightly (which is usually accompanied by a scuffing sound).
3. Switch feet and repeat. Pigtails are optional.
