Description
A step followed by a heel with almost no space between them, so the two taps sound like one thick, slightly split sound. Think of it as a step heel squeezed together, with the step acting as a grace note just before the heel.

Practice Tips
- Keep the ankle as loose as you can; a stiff ankle makes the heel arrive late.
- Start with a slow step heel and gradually close the gap until the two sounds nearly merge.
