A diagonal traveling step. The ball of the back foot is placed behind the lead flat foot, then the back knee is straightened, weight transferred onto the back foot, pushing the buttocks upwards and the entire body forward until the weight falls onto the front foot and repeat. Arms are often in a position where lead foot arm is up and lengthened at 45-degrees, while other arm is placed across chest slightly lower and in same position as lead arm (typical of basic Ghawazee step with finger cymbals).
