Description

Drop the right heel, then the left heel, then drop the right toe and step onto the left foot at the same instant, so the last sound is one combined hit. Three sounds on 1&a, traveling to the right.

Practice Tips

  • On the last sound the toe likes to beat the step to the floor. Lift that toe higher first and bring the step down fast so they meet.
  • Keep the two heels evenly spaced so the combined toe and step lands cleanly on the 'a'.
