Description

A drawback with one more heel drop added at the end: spank the right foot, drop the left heel, step onto the right, then drop the right heel. Four sounds counted &1&2, so the step lands on the & and the final heel falls on the beat.

Practice Tips

  • The last heel is the one to watch: make it as loud as the first and don't let it fall early.
  • Land the step on the ball with the heel still up, otherwise the step and final heel merge into one sound.
