Description

Step onto the right foot and shuffle the left, then lift your weight up so the right foot can play a scuffle (a heel dig followed by a spank). Finish by stepping onto the left and then back onto the right. It's a waltz clog with a scuffle slipped in before the closing steps, giving seven sounds instead of five.

Practice Tips

  • Start lifting your weight up off the floor as soon as the shuffle is done; if you stay heavy, the scuffle comes in late and muddy.
  • Get the plain waltz clog and a scuffle ball change solid on their own first, then join them without letting the extra sounds stretch the waltz feel.
