Description

A wing with an extra out-and-in while you're in the air. From the balls of both feet, scrape both feet outward as you rise, spank them in, brush them out again, spank them in again, and land on the balls of both feet. Five sounds, each played by both feet together.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the ankles very loose; stiff ankles can't make four sounds in one jump.
  • Don't let the feet travel far out to the sides, or there won't be time to bring them back in for the second spank and the landing.
