The hard part is not letting them touch the ground, just lower them until they are approx. 2-4" off floor level.

I don't know what these are called, however, I was introduced to them in a dance class. Our instructor also had us "throw" legs to the side. I was in a class with teenagers -- some of who were quite impressed that I was better at fighting the harder throws than they were.
