Description

A wing played in reverse. Start on the balls of both feet with the feet apart, then spring up while both feet scrape inward, letting one foot cross in front of the other. Brush both feet back out together and land on the balls of both feet, apart again.

Practice Tips

  • Let the feet actually cross on the way in; it winds them up and leaves room for a clear brush on the way out.
  • Practice the in-and-out path standing in place before adding the jump, so both feet sound together on each tap.
