Flicks 'n' Kicks

All I notice lately when the competitors do Jive is the bouncy kicks. Some of them get very high off the floor, kids mostly. The shorter you are, the easier it is. Also, you need good knees, so I may only be able to demonstrate one side today when I see the 5th grade. It's raining, so they'll be keyed up after no outdoor recess. You'd think the extra energy would be good, but they don't channel it well.
