Description

A buffalo with a flap in place of the first leap. Start with the free foot crossed in front. Flap onto the back foot, shuffle the crossed foot, then step onto it so the other foot ends up crossed in front. Five sounds, traveling sideways, with the weight changing on the flap and on the final step.

Practice Tips

  • Don't let the flap drag. Push it down into the floor so its two sounds stay close together and don't sound slower than the rest.
  • The shuffle tends to come in early. Lift the shuffling foot a little higher first so it lands on '&a'.
