The first move to know is Shuffling. Shuffling involves alternating a right-foot-forward and left-foot-forward stance. The front foot is on toe, the back foot is flat. The move is executed by hopping slightly and switching feet. The dancer can also change the direction his body is facing while shuffling. However, the body generally stays straight during the move, and direction is changed in the hop.
A variation is the Shuffle Kick. In this move, the front foot is placed heel-down instead of toe-down.
The next move to master is the V. Place both feet together. Lift both toes, and by rotating on the heels, point your toes away from your body. This should form a V when you look down. Now reverse the move, bringing the toes back together, and then rotate on the toes, spread your heels, and make an upside down V.
You can move side to side by making a V, then rotating one foot on its heel and the other on its toe, in the same direction. If you look down, you should have moved slightly to one side, and should now see an upside down V.
A variation is the Step Back, in which you slide to the side while doing the V, but you pick up the trailing foot and place it behind the leading foot, toe-down.
Another is the V Step. In this move, you move side to side, and your trailing foot makes the moves of the V, but the leading foot alternates touching its toe in front of you and behind you.
The last basic move is the Heel Toe. In this move, stand with feet together. Step across your body with your left foot, placing it heel-down. Rise slightly on the toe of your right foot, and swing it to the right. Land with your feet shoulder-width apart, your weight resting on the heel of your left foot and the toe of your right. Reverse the move and repeat.
A variation is to hop into the cross-stepped position, then swing your back leg. This move looks faster, but should still appear very fluid.
The Crip Walk should appear relaxed and effortless. The moves are generally all in the feet. This used to free up the hands to flash gang signs, but now the arms are usually relaxed at the sides. Practice your C-walking until you look light and nimble before you show it off to the public.
