Dig

Description

Strike the back edge of the heel tap into the floor with the front of the foot lifted, usually close to or just in front of the supporting foot. Depending on the combination, a dig may take weight or may not.

Breakdown

Practice Tips

• Keep the dig underneath you unless the choreography asks it to travel - reaching far forward throws off your balance.
• Only the back rim of the heel tap should hit; keep the toe lifted so you don't get a second sound from the ball of the foot.
