Description

All on one foot: spank the ball backward, tap the point of the toe on the floor, then step down on the ball of that same foot. The first two sounds carry no weight, and you end standing on the foot that spanked.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the ankle relaxed so you can flow from the toe tip straight into the step.
  • Pull the foot up right after the toe tip; if it rests on the floor, the step loses its separate sound.
