Hot Toe

Description

It opens and closes like a Maxie Ford but packs extra sounds into the middle. Step onto the right foot and shuffle the left, hit the left toe tip, scuffle the right foot, step onto the left, and finish with a right toe tip crossed behind. Eight sounds; the right foot scuffles while your weight is lifting, so the middle goes by very quickly.

Practice Tips

• Get your weight up into the air as early as you can after the left toe tip so the right foot has room to scuffle.
• Practise slowly with all eight sounds even, then tighten the toe tip, scuffle and step together.
