Description
All five sounds are on the right foot: a riffle (brush forward, heel strike, spank back), then a step onto the ball, then a heel drop. The first sound can be a touch instead of a brush. You finish with your weight flat on the right foot.

Practice Tips
- If the heel sneaks in right after the brush, press harder into the first sound and come into the floor at a steeper angle.
- Keep the heel up as the step lands and drop it separately, so the step and heel stay two sounds.
