Description
Lift the whole foot off the floor and strike the very front edge of the toe tap against the floor, often just behind the other foot. It's a quick, light, pointed sound with no weight change. Unlike Toe (Flat), the heel is off the floor, and unlike a Touch, you hit the tip of the shoe rather than the flat ball of the foot.

Practice Tips
- Pull the foot back up right after the tip hits instead of leaving it resting on the floor.
- Point from the ankle so only the front edge of the tap strikes; if the ball of the foot lands, it becomes a touch.
