Description

A buffalo where the final leap becomes a switching pullback. With the left foot crossed in front, step (or leap) onto the right and shuffle the left. Then spring off the right, spanking it back as it leaves the floor, and land on the left. Five sounds, finishing with the free foot crossed in front again.

Practice Tips

  • To get the pull sound, let the pullback travel, keep the ankle a little loose, and don't clench your toes inside the shoes.
  • Lift the left foot a little before the shuffle so the shuffle falls on 'e &' and not on top of the first step.
