Description

Tap the ball of the foot on the floor without putting any weight on it, then lift it away. It makes the same sound as a step, but your weight stays on the other foot, so you can move the touching foot again right away.

Practice Tips

  • Bounce the foot off the floor as soon as it lands so you don't settle weight into it.
  • Test yourself: right after a touch you should be able to use the same foot again without shifting your body.
