Stamp Step Riff Heel Turn

Description

Stamp the right foot with weight, then step onto the ball of the left foot and start turning on it. While you rotate, the right foot riffs (brush forward, then heel scuff), and the left heel drops to finish the turn. Five sounds, with the weight ending on the left foot so the right is free for the next move.

Practice Tips

• Keep the brush and scuff of the riff distinct while you are turning; press into the first sound so it doesn't disappear under the heel.
• Save the left heel for the end of the turn. If it drops early, you lose the pivot on the ball and the rotation stops short.
