The zorrotzak are leaps that are performed by means of a vertical jump forwards, backwards or to either side.

Starting from the initial position, a txingo is performed with the left foot and, stretching the right foot, the dancer lifts it forwards. With his right foot in the air and performing a demi-plié with the left foot, the dancer jumps: the left leg has to hit the right leg first below and then on top.
