Drawback

Description

Standing on the ball of the left foot, spank the right foot back, drop the left heel, then step the right foot down behind you onto its ball. Three sounds that travel backward, with the weight ending on the right so the next drawback starts with the left.

Breakdown

1. Spank
2. Heel
3. Step

Practice Tips

• Don't lean back. It makes you fall backward and drop the heel too soon to catch yourself, so keep your body over the supporting foot.
• Avoid bouncing up and down, which makes the heel late. Stay level and keep the supporting heel lifted until its count.
