Description

Do a shuffle (brush forward, spank back), then step onto the ball of that same foot so your weight moves onto it. Three sounds; done on alternating feet, it becomes a light running or jogging travel step.

Practice Tips

  • For an even rhythm, don't let the spank rush in; space all three sounds equally.
  • Stay light on the balls of the feet so you can switch smoothly into the next shuffle on the other foot.
