Description

Spank the free foot backward, hop on the supporting foot, tap the point of the free foot's toe on the floor, then step onto that free foot. The hop keeps your weight on the supporting foot, and the final step moves it to the other foot.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the hop low. Hopping high slows you down and makes the toe tip late.
  • Practice spank toe step first; spots is the same thing with a hop added after the spank.
