Description

Push off into the air and land on the balls of both feet at exactly the same moment. Both feet take your weight on landing, and the two taps should sound like one.

Practice Tips

  • Aim for one clean sound: if you hear two taps, one foot is landing before the other.
  • Bend your knees as you land and keep your heels off the floor to absorb the impact and stay ready for the next step.
