Description

An Irish pullback flap with a heel drop at the end. Shuffle the right foot, do a single pullback on the left, flap onto the ball of the right, then drop the right heel. Seven sounds, and the weight ends flat on the right foot.

Practice Tips

  • Drop the heel immediately after the flap lands so the ending rolls on instead of stopping.
  • Finish the shuffle completely before the pullback; rushing it merges the spank with the pull.
