Pendulum Shuffle

Description

Two shuffles on the same free foot that swing back and forth like a pendulum. On the first, you brush forward and spank back so the foot finishes crossed in front of the standing leg. On the second, you brush forward again and spank back on a diagonal out to the side. There's no weight change, because the standing foot holds you the whole time.

Breakdown

1. Shuffle (across)
2. Shuffle (out)

Practice Tips

• Swing from the hip but keep the taps of both shuffles close together under your body. The wider the swing, the more lopsided the rhythm sounds.
• Start with a small pause between the across shuffle and the out shuffle, then shrink it until all four sounds are even.
