Description

Keep your heel planted, raise the front of your foot, then drop the ball of the foot sharply so the toe tap hits the floor. The heel never leaves the ground and your weight stays where it was, so there is no weight change.

Practice Tips

  • Snap the toe down with intention instead of lowering it slowly - a lazy drop gives a weak, muffled sound.
  • Keep the heel glued to the floor; if it lifts, you are turning the sound into a different step.
