The Twelve Mysterious Passes of Silvio Manuel and Juan Tuma

These names are mine and intentionally silly.  I like short lists of
this sort to jumpstart my memory once I know the passes.

1.  Grisly Bear Run
2.  Chorus Line Kicks
3.  Shuffling Off to Buffalo
4.  Oops!  Wrong Way!
5.  Sundial Slide
6.  Slide Step
7.  The Big Finish
8.  Juan Tuma's Twist
9.  Heel Thyself
10.  Step of Power
11.  A Waltz With Death
12.  Rain Dance

1.	Bend over at the waist, keeping the stomach muscles tight to
        relieve stress on the lower back.  The hands dangle straight
        down from the shoulders.  Jog in place, only lifting the feet
        6 inches or so.

2.      Lift the left knee as high as you can and bring the knee
        forcefully to the right, pivoting on the planted right foot.
        Alternate with the left knee.

3.	This one resembles the old dance step  --  the body leans
        forward as if running very fast, but stay in place as the legs
        kick backwards.  The arms swing naturally as if running.

4.	Beginning with the left foot, side-step left, right steps behind
        left, the left foot lifts off the floor but before it steps
        reverse momentum and step into same spot it lifted from, and
        side-step right, left steps behind, right foot lifts but before
        it steps reverse momentum and step into same spot it lifted from,
        and side-step...etc.  Use the arms to keep a graceful, natural
        rythm.

5.	Think of standing on a sundial facing 12.  The feet start together
        naturally, right crosses over left and steps toward 10:30 but the
        body stays parallel to the original line, the left steps towards
        10:30, right steps towards 10:30; feet pivot as body and toes face
        10:30.  Feet slide right-left-right to the original starting point.
        Left crosses over right and steps towards 1:30 as the body becomes
        parallel to the original line.  Right steps towards 1:30, left
        steps towards 1:30, feet pivot as body and toes face 1:30, feet
        slide left-right-left to original starting point, etc.

6.	The feet start together naturally.  The left instep rubs up the
        inside of the right calf as the left foot side-steps left; the right
        foot slides over into original distance from left.  Take as many
        steps as you like in this direction, then mirror for right direction.

7.	The same footwork as 6., but this time the arms do the same motion
        as "Spreading the Energy Body Laterally."  When moving left, the
        left hand is on top, and vice versa.

8.	The feet start about six inches apart and perfectly parallel.  Pivot
        right on the balls of the feet so that the toes point left.  Pivot
        left-right-left-right, and lift the right heel off of the floor.
        Pivot left-right-left-right-left, and lift the left heel.  Pivot 
        right-left-right left-right, and lift the right heel, etc.

9.	Bend at the waist, keeping the stomach muscles tight to relieve
        stress on the lower back.  The palms are flat but not overly tight
        as the fingers point at the floor.  Stand on the heels of your feet
        and walk in place, or however you need to in order to maintain your
        balance.

10.	Stand naturally.  Beginning with the left foot, run in place three
        steps, then lift the left knee as high as you can, and pause with
        the knee in the air.  Begin with the right foot, etc., alternating.

11.	Stand naturally.  The left foot side-steps left, the right foot
        steps behind the left, the left foot steps behind the right, the
        right foot lifts but the momentum changes direction and the right
        foot steps back into its previous spot.  The left foot takes a
        swinging step to the right, causing the whole body to pivot to the
        right.   The right foot steps behind the left, the left foot steps
        behind the right, the right foot lifts but the momentum changes
        direction and the right foot steps back into its previous spot.
        The left foot takes a swinging step to the right, causing the
        whole body to pivot to the right, etc.  You should make a circle,
        that is end up facing the original direction, after either three or
        four swinging steps--or whatever works for you.  (I use three.)
        Use the arms to keep a graceful, natural rythm.

12.	This is the classic elementary school Injun dance step.  The feet
        make sliding, shuffling steps of about 4-6 inches, never really
        leaving the floor.
