Description

Shuffle the free foot (brush forward, spank back), then dig its heel into the floor and put your weight onto that heel. The weight moves to the digging foot, so the other foot is free to shuffle next, and repeating it gives a flat-footed, waddling walk.

Practice Tips

  • Don't rush the dig. Let the shuffle finish so the dig lands squarely on the count.
  • Go straight from one dig into the next shuffle without a pause, so the repeats flow.
