The Waltz jump is the simplest jump in
figure skating.
It is one half
rotation in the air from a forward take off.
While
skating backward, the
skater steps forward onto their left/right leg.
The skater leaps into the air while
swinging the free leg in front of them.
The skater turns
backward in the air so that they land on the toe pick of the opposite leg.
