Gliding, often grouped with floating and sliding, refers to a set of dance moves that focus on illusionary footwork. Evolved directly from floating, gliding incorporates the basic technique of floating (in which the dancer travels across the floor by simultaneously lifting/lowering the opposite heel and toes of each foot) while adding a push and pull, enabling the dancer to travel further with each step.
