Description

Do a double scuffle (dig spank, dig spank) with the free foot, then set that same foot down on its ball and drop its heel. All six sounds come from one foot, and the weight ends flat on it, so the other foot can start the next one.

Practice Tips

  • Stay loose through the two scuffles, so you still have the control to place a clean step right after them.
  • Land the step on the ball and keep the heel up for a moment. At speed, the heel is the sound that tends to disappear.
