Description

Jump out so you land with the feet apart, hop on the right, drop the right heel, then step the left foot across behind. Four sounds on 1 2&3, and the step travels to the right.

Practice Tips

  • Cross the legs deeply on the last step and let yourself really travel; the bigger the cross, the better it looks.
  • Leave a full count between the jump and the hop so the rhythm stays 1, 2&3 and doesn't rush.
