Description

Two right-foot single wings under a left leg that swings like a pendulum. With your weight on the ball of the right foot, brush the left foot forward and go straight into a single wing on the right (scrape out, spank in, land on the same foot). Then spank the left foot back and do a second right single wing. The weight stays on the right foot throughout. United Taps demo videos count the step &a**1, which is five sounds; which movement makes each sound is not spelled out.

  4. Single Wing

Practice Tips

  • Treat the left brush and spank as pickups into each wing and keep them joined, so the phrase flows instead of stuttering.
  • Get single wings and the pendulum shuffle swing comfortable separately before putting them together.
