Description

A Maxie Ford that ends with a clunk instead of a toe tip. Step on the right foot, shuffle the left, step onto the left, then clunk the right foot behind the left: tilt it so the inside edges of its toe and heel taps hit the floor together. Your weight ends on the left foot.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the supporting knee bent. That gives the clunking leg room to reach behind you at the right angle.
  • Aim for the toe and heel edges to hit at the same instant so the clunk is one solid accent.
