German term or phrase: Gehen
This is a course outline for training to be a dance instructor.

Under the course outline one of the points reads:

Fachspezifische Grundlagen: Gymnastische Grundform Gehen

another reads:

Basisarbeit: Gehen and seine Variationsformen


I am not sure how to translate Gehen here.
I thought of just putting "working with gymnastic basics" for the first point, but the second bothers me! Should it be "Ground work: movement and its various forms or walking?????

agree  Andrea Black: Although it has nothing to do with race walking. Gymnists walk toe-to-heel, I'm assuming this is what it's referring to, though I couldn't find any specific vocabulary either.
