Practice this step that we worked on last summer. It is part of the new dance we are learning.

Weight on right foot, do toe jab with left foot behind right foot.

Now... from this position -slide left toe along ground to front (from behind right foot) and drop right heel as youu do this ,
brush left foot back, left dig toe-(next to right foot) drop left heel.
right heel jab (to front), right brush back, drop left heel, right toe jab behind left foot
you are now in position to repeat step sliding right toe out...
again repeat sliding left foot out...
again begin to repeat sliding right foot out, drop left heel, brush back on right,right dig and right heel drop then STEP onleft foot to end the step.

If this doesn't make sense-not to worry-I'll explain in class next week. Don't practice it wrong.

Steps

What we worked on this week:

Flap(r) flap(l) flap(r) (staying on balls of feet) shuffle(l) heel(r)
flap(l) scuff(r)-hold this scuff
brush back ((r) step(r) ball(l) change(also known as a 'step') on right foot

repeat starting on left; repeat again starting on r (so do 3 times)
Then to end step ....flap (l) scuff(r).... brush Back step (r) scuff(l).....brushback step(l) scuff(r) ..brush back step (r) ball(l) change(r)
We will do this step in a circle, but work on it across the floor, (it travels) before wee work on doing it in a circle.


We also learned riffs: (in a 'scooping' motion) toe(r) heel(r) heel(l) heel(r) toe(r) then the same beginning on left (to left)
(in a 'scooping' motion) toe(l) heel(l) heel(r) heel(l) toe(l) then can keep repeating on each foot


Practice!

bigger tap floor

We have moved into a bigger room at A Step Ahead, so we have room for more students. I didn't do a lot of promotion of the class when we started back up as space was limited. So now if you know of anyone that is interested in tapping you can tell them about the class! I had fun tapping yesterday but I can't remember what we did to post new steps.
