Description

Turn in place with alternating scuffle steps. The right foot digs, spanks back, and steps onto its ball, then the left foot does the same. The weight changes on each step, and you spot to keep your balance as you come around.

Practice Tips

  • Stay level instead of bouncing. Bouncing makes it hard to keep an even rhythm while you turn.
  • Keep the scuffle close to your body so the spank doesn't throw you off your turning axis.
