high kicks

Cancan dance moves

High kicks are dance or exercise moves where the leg is swung forcefully upward, typically to waist height or above.

They appear in cheerleading routines, chorus lines, martial arts training, and aerobics classes.

A high kick can also be a sudden forceful kick in fighting: She landed a high kick to his jaw.
