About this reconstruction: 

2020, for Zoom dance class

Reconstruction: 

Advance:
4 riprese minute forwards, in a zig-zag, starting on the left:
heels together - toes together - heels together - toes together (moving left) (swivel to move right)
heels-toes-heels-toes (moving right) (swivel)
heels-toes-heels-toes (moving left) (swivel)
heels-toes-heels-toes (moving right)

Retreat:
4 seguiti scorsi (scurrying sequences) in swooping curves and S shapes, returning to your place

Discussion: 

These moves - riprese minute, and scorsi - are especially common in Negri's mutanze for women. This particular combination was invented on the fly in class.
