Traditional Double Time Step

Description

Shuffle the right foot, hop on the left, flap the right, flap the left, then step onto the right. It's the single time step with its first step turned into a flap, eight sounds from 8 through the & of 3. The weight ends on the right, so the phrase repeats on the other side with a left shuffle starting on 4.

Practice Tips

• Stay up on the balls of your feet. Dropping the heels muddies the sounds and slows the flaps down.
• Don't let the final step drift late. It has to land right on the & so the next shuffle can start on the count.
