Description

A cramp roll variation that alternates heel and toe between the feet. Step onto the ball of the right foot, dig the left heel, drop the right heel, then drop the left toe. Every sound takes weight, and you end flat on both feet.

Practice Tips

  • The dig tends to come in early. Lift that foot a little higher before it comes down so it lands on the '&'.
  • Practice a regular and a backwards cramp roll first; this one mixes the two, so the pattern feels familiar.
