INSTRUCTIONS:

Swinging the Ribbon: The entire body should coordinate with these large, swinging motions:
Swing the ribbon forward and backward in the sagittal plane on the side of the body.
Swing the ribbon across and in front of the body in the frontal plane. Swing the ribbon overhead from side to side; Swing the ribbon upward and catch the end of it.
While holding both ends of the ribbon, swing it
upward, around, and over the body. Jump through it.

Circling movements: Large circles are made in front, on the side and around the body. Use the whole arm to create the circular movements; smaller circles involve the wrist. Circles are made in different planes: frontal, sagittal, and horizontal.
Circle the ribbon horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Circle the ribbon in front of the body, around
the body, and overhead and behind the body.
Run while circling the ribbon overhead; leap as the ribbon is circled downward and under the legs.

Figure-Eight Movements. Figure eights are made in the three planes. The two halves of the figure eight should be the same size and on the same plane level. The figure can be made with long arm movements or with movements of the lower arm or wrist. Practice both types

Zigzag Movements: Zigzag movements are made in the air or on the floor. These are done with continuous up-and-down hand movements, using primarily wrist action.

Run backward while zigzagging the ribbon in front of the body. Run forward while zigzagging ribbon behind the body at different levels.

Spiraling movements: The circles making up the spiraling action can be the same size or of an increasing or decreasing progression.
Perform forward and backward rolls while spiraling.
