Description

A single wing that changes feet. Standing on the ball of one foot, scrape it outward and up into the air, spank it back in, and land on the ball of the other foot. Three sounds, with the weight moving to the other foot, so it can repeat from side to side.

Practice Tips

  • After the spank, lift the working foot before the other foot lands, so the landing doesn't crowd in right behind the first two sounds.
  • Have the landing foot ready under your body instead of reaching for the floor.
