You will run 1-2, right straight leap 3, land in coupe 4, develop into arabesque 5-8. Penche 1-4, somersault 5-8. You will then switch your legs to prepare to repeat the combination.
This combination will focus heavily on balance, alignment and engaging. A tip for finding your balance when landing the leap in coupe is to think of your foot as having four corners that you want to plant down into the floor. This will help to evenly distribute you weight, making it easier to balance.
Another tip for the arabesque is to lift up through your chest, but also pushing down all the way through the floor. This will help to stabilize you.
