So I’ve been seeing this Chace Ferguson thing all over the place lately – you know, that viral dance move where you jump and twist mid-air? Figured I’d give it a shot since everybody’s doing it. Let me walk you through exactly how it went down.
Getting Started Was Rough
First off, I just tried copying what I saw in TikTok videos. Stood in my living room, jumped straight up like an idiot, and immediately landed on my ankle wrong. Hurt like hell. Learned real quick you need proper shoes – my floppy house slippers weren’t cuttin’ it.
The Actual Steps That Worked
After icing my ankle, I broke it down proper:
- Foot position first: Put my dominant foot slightly back, like I’m about to push a shopping cart.
- That little hop-skip: Did this dumb-looking shuffle where I rocked back on my back foot then forward quick.
- The jump twist: Spring up from that forward motion while swinging my arms sideways to get rotation.
- Landing disaster zone: First five times I landed like a sack of potatoes. Started bending my knees way before touching down – that was the trick.
What Finally Clicked
After about thirty failed attempts, two things made it work:
- Stopped overthinking the twist and just let my arms swing natural
- Pretended I was jumping forward not just upward – keeps momentum going
When I finally nailed it, my cat looked more impressed than my wife did. Took me three evenings of looking like a drowning walrus on carpet. Seriously though – start on grass or something soft. My coffee table still hates me.
