Description
Dig the back edge of the heel into the floor with the toe lifted, then drop the front of the same foot so the toe tap sounds. It's a two-sound heel-to-toe rock on one foot, and by the end the foot is flat on the floor.

Practice Tips
- Hit the toe as firmly as the dig - the toe is the sound that tends to fade and come early as you speed up.
- Keep the toe fully lifted during the dig so the two sounds stay separate instead of blurring into one.
