Description

Stomp the right foot (no weight), hop on the left, shuffle the right and step onto it, flap the left, then step onto the right. It's the buck double time step with its first flap turned into a shuffle step, for eight sounds. The weight ends on the right, and the next phrase starts with a left stomp on 4.

Practice Tips

  • Hold the shuffle back until the hop has landed. Starting it early crowds the hop and blurs the '& a'.
  • Keep the stomp flat and weightless, so the hop on the other foot comes straight out of it.
