Description
Stand on the balls of both feet with the feet together. Spring up while both feet scrape outward on the outer edge of the ball taps, then swing both feet back in with a spank and land together on the balls of both feet. Three sounds, each played by both feet at once, and you land with your weight on both feet.

Practice Tips
- Start the lift before the scrape: your body should already be rising as the feet go out, which takes the strain off your ankles.
- Keep the two feet in unison on every sound, so it reads as three clean sounds instead of six scattered ones.
