Description

A double buffalo with a toe tip added before the last step. With the left foot crossed in front, flap onto the right, shuffle the left, tap the left toe tip, then step onto the left, so the free foot is crossed in front again. Six sounds, with the weight changing on the flap and on the final step.

Practice Tips

  • Relax the ankle on the toe tip and push it into the floor quickly; a stiff toe tip arrives late and crowds the final step.
  • Lift the left foot a little before the shuffle so it doesn't start early, just as in the double buffalo.
