Agility training?

 
This wonderful jumping spider was jumping (and I mean jumping!) across a trail to Race Point beach in Provincetown, MA, today (28 September 2022).  
 
I think it might be Habronattus agilis (agilis would be a good descriptor).  Check out its cool alternating stripes: 
 
 
P.S.  For a fun video clip of this species (and many others), see Dick Walton's web page on jumping spiders here.

What's it doing when it wiggles its butt like that?
I love this little guy!
