Panel 1: In the top left of the comic, there’s a small panel depicting two people on a beach, one has their back to us, and the other is facing to the left and wearing a bright green one-piece swimsuit. She has a dialogue bubble, and is saying “like this!’ Panel 2: A pair of legs is shown from the mid-thigh down. The right foot is slightly raised. Panel 3: Same as panel two, but there are motion lines and the right foot has moved behind the left leg. Panel 4: This panel expands to the top half of the page. The beach scene from panel one is much bigger now, and we can tell the person with their back to us has a beard. The person who is moving their legs also has their arms awkwardly in the air, as if using them to balance, or perhaps not quite knowing what to do with them. Her legs are in the same position as panel 3, but further apart. Text at the bottom of the panel reads “PAUSE” in all caps. They are saying “err” as an aside, without a speech bubble. Panel 5: The bottom half of the dancing person is shown. Their leg right leg, the moving one, is drawn many times in different positions, moving around the stationary left leg. Panel 6: Now we have an aerial view of the dancer, top-down, as she points to the drawn circle her foot is moving in. She is saying in a bubble “in French, it’s called a Rond De Jambe*” The asterisk at the bottom panel reveals Rond De Jambe translates to to “Circle of the Leg”. Panel 7: The dancer is face to face with the bearded person, and they say in a bubble “The first one is always perfectly round, but everyone after is usually a bit funky…” The bearded person responds: “funky is good!” Panel 8: The dancer and the other person have now joined both hands and the dancer, in all caps, says “true.”
