Description
Flap the right foot (brush forward, then step onto its ball), then drop the left heel, and finally the right heel. Four sounds, finishing with your weight on both flat feet. It is the same opening the Alexander uses, and it can be played evenly (&1&2) or swung (a1 a2).

Practice Tips
- Swing it (a1 a2) at slow and medium tempos, and switch to the even &1&2 once it gets fast.
- Keep the right heel lifted after the flap lands, so the left heel gets its own sound before the right one drops.
