Description

Step out to the side onto the ball of one foot, spank the other foot, then dig that same heel down near the stepping foot. You end balanced between the ball of one foot and the heel of the other, ready to step out again with the first foot, so the step travels sideways.

Practice Tips

  • Early digs and weak spanks are the usual problems. Lift the foot a little higher after the spank so the dig waits for its count.
  • Build the spank slowly with plenty of force so it stays audible once you speed up.
