Description

With the left foot crossed in front, step on the right and shuffle the left, as in a buffalo. Then do a single pullback on the right that comes down on its toe tip instead of the ball, and finish by stepping on the left. The toe tip takes no weight, so the left step lands right after it.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the right toe tip weightless; leaning onto it makes the left step that follows late.
  • Practice the single pullback toe on its own until the pull and toe tip come out as two clean, quick sounds.
