Shuffle

Description

Brush the ball of the free foot forward, then spank it straight back, hitting the floor on the way out and on the way back. Two quick sounds with no weight change, so the foot stays free.

Breakdown

1. Brush
2. Spank

Practice Tips

• Keep the ankle loose but controlled; a tight ankle makes the shuffle drag and scrape.
• Practice both a swung and a straight (even) rhythm, which means controlling how quickly the spank comes back.
