Dryland practice:

Swinging your leg from the hip!

Practicing having the hip driving the leg forward, with the lower leg slightly delayed and catching up. 

Practicing to allow the lower leg to initially retain its position other than what is necessary for the thigh to move forward from the hip. Think of the lower leg dangling from the knee as the thigh initiates. The foot should barely lift up towards your body prior to moving forward.
