Russian step, or Russian, no hand footwork, footwork move where the hands don't touch the ground. The term "no hand footwork" may include some kneerocks and, less commonly, backrocks.

The Russian, a move in the squatting position where the legs alternately kick, was inspired by the "Cossack dance", referring to a move from the Ukrainian/Russian folk dance hopak/gopak . Frosty Freeze can be seen doing Russians in the early 1980s . Members of Battle Squad developed different Russian steps in the 1990s , and a chapter of Storm's Footwork Fundamentals is dedicated to "No Hand Footwork" .
