How To Do A Box Step: As Shown By A  3 Year Old

First, you need a good teacher.  Preferably one who's not afraid to roll up their sleeves (or pants, as the case may be) and get down to business.

Second, you need some Post-It notes.  Duh.  

Then you stand on the one marked "1".

Then, you go back (on your right foot, or "that one") to the "2".

Now you step to the side (onto the "3", with your left foot, otherwise known as "the other one").

And put your feet together.  

Next, you step forward with your left foot (onto the "4").

Take a side step with your right foot onto the "1".  Almost there!  

Put your feet together and you're done!

You're done!

When you put it all together, it looks like this:

And of course, you need to bow.  ("It's a curtsy, Mom.  Boys bow.")

Since these pictures and videos were taken, she's also learned the progressive change steps and natural (right) turns.  I'm not bragging, I'm merely telling you that 5 minutes of practice a day does wonders for everyone.  Even those with the attention span of a 3 year old.

Now go practice for 5 minutes!
