Hey Janice! Not a stupid question at all! Teaching and learning is all about figuring out how to pair words with ideas 🙂
For this particular sequence, you can basically think of the word ‘kick’ and ‘tap’ meaning roughly the same thing. In order to complete the rotations in the sequence, you are keeping the legs engaged and kicking them to rotate the head back towards the pole. For the double salto, you are tapping/kicking the heels back to come upright. And for the back salto, you are tapping/kicking the toes forward to come upright.
While we are cueing the toes, how that controls the thigh/hip connection to the wrap is the heart of getting back upright for both forward and backward rotations. The hips want to stay open for both landings, once they hinge, it’s dangle time!

Happy training!
