We practice in the air on FI courses by banking from (30 degrees) left to right very quickly and keeping the nose on a constant centreline with the rudder. I am always amazed at how few pilots can do this when they first try it.
That's called 'Rolling Around a Point' and should be a basic handling excercise in any aeroplane check-out. It's particularly effective in something like a Chipmunk, where you sit on the centreline and lazy rudder feet leads to lots of adverse yaw.
