If you're having problems playing it, or with any other four-way coordination pattern, here's the secret to breaking it down into more easily digestible steps. (If you missed the first article, or would like to refresh your memory, see the Secret to Four-Way Coordination in the sidebar. I'll wait.) Ready? Good.

Try applying the 15 Steps to the next pattern that gives you trouble and you'll see how effective it really is.
