Wear sneakers while doing the worm so your toes have more support while pushing off and landing during the moves.
Keep your legs together and push off with both feet at once. Keep them completely together from your feet to your thighs throughout the entire dance move. The goal is to get all of your legs off the ground, not just the part below your knees. Try to get your upper thighs and hips off the ground as you rock forward.
Keep your hands on the ground for the first time. The next time you start the move, your hands will be in the air a bit because you pushed your upper body up off the ground.
Kicking your legs straight will help move body weight back toward your feet while you push your upper body up with your arms.
To gain more upper body strength and help you push your weight up with your arms, consider doing push-ups every day to build your strength.
Kick your legs up and back behind you like you did the first time and keep your back arched to help you rock forward. Repeat the move as many times as you like. The more times you do it in a row, the easier it will become and the more you’ll look like an actual worm inching forward. Don’t think too much once you have the combinations down. Just try to get your body to flow through the steps and keep practicing.
If you get some bad bruises from the first few practices, take some time off to let them heal before you start trying again.
