Description

Swing your free foot backward from in front of you (or diagonally) so only the ball tap strikes the floor as it passes. It's a backward brush: no weight goes onto that foot, and it ends in the air behind you.

Practice Tips

  • Don't point the foot as it comes back; a pointed toe drags and scrapes instead of making a clean tap.
  • Start with the foot slightly in front so it has room to swing back through the floor.
