Double Irish (Version 2)

Description

Shuffle the right foot in front, hop on the left, shuffle the right again, then step down onto the right. That's an Irish with a second shuffle added after the hop, six sounds in all. The weight ends on the right, so the next one starts with the left foot. Version 1 (Level 2) is different: it puts a shuffle ball change before an ordinary Irish, while this version keeps both shuffles on the same foot, one on each side of a single hop.

Practice Tips

• Keep the hop low and springy. A high hop lands late and squeezes the second shuffle.
• Finish the first shuffle completely before you push up into the hop, or the brush gets lost.
