Description

The right foot brushes forward, then the left does a switching pullback: spring off the left, spanking it back as it leaves the floor, and land on the right. Three sounds, and the weight ends on the right foot. It works like a shuffle pullback with a single brush in place of the shuffle.

Practice Tips

  • Lift the knee of the brushing foot after the brush. That keeps the foot in the air long enough that the landing doesn't come in early.
  • Keep the brush under your body instead of kicking it far forward, so the pullback has somewhere to go.
