Shuffle one foot (brush out, spank back), hop on the supporting foot, then step down onto the shuffling foot. The weight moves to the other side, so the next Irish starts on the opposite foot. It can travel forward or backward.

Practice Tips
- Finish the whole shuffle before you push up into the hop, or the brush tends to get lost.
- Keep the hop small and springy on the ball of the foot. It should be a clear sound, not a big jump.
