Description

A time step that puts a cramp roll where the usual flap goes. Stomp the free foot without weight, hop on the supporting foot, do a cramp roll (ball, ball, heel, heel), then add one more step to finish. Like other time steps, it repeats and then switches to the other side.

Practice Tips

  • Don't rush the second ball of the cramp roll or the first heel. Both tend to crowd in right after the hop.
  • Keep the stomp flat and let it bounce off without weight, so the hop stays on the other foot.
