Description

Stand on the balls of both feet with one foot in front of the other. Spring up while the front foot scrapes backward and the back foot scrapes forward, like closing scissors. Then send them home at the same moment, the front foot with a spank and the back foot with a brush, and land in the position you started from. Three sounds, each made by both feet together.

Practice Tips

  • Point the toe of the foot that scrapes backward firmly; otherwise that foot does a pullback instead of a scrape.
  • Keep both feet exactly in time on every sound so you hear three crisp sounds instead of six.
