An Approach to Starting Out the Circle Walking

I thought this clip was useful as a good place to start.
In my class, I was initially shown a static posture, and then, shown the circle walk.
Some differences, in my class, I was told not to lift up the toes, but rather point the toe down as I stepped forward (which keeps the foot level with the ground), and first shown with the palm posture given me, and then, the circle walk with the hands on my hips, body sitting squarely on the hips, and then, I was shown an exercise to cultivate flow of chi into the fingertips, and toes... and then to circle walk with that motion, and then, back to the circle walk with the palm posture.
