What This Module Trains 🎯
Two taps: tapping the floor instead of always doing steps, to highlight repetitive instruments like the campana or the piano.
The Moves 🧠
Tap. A tap means that you're not changing weight.
Lesson 1.
Mambo Tap. From your basic, tap forward on your toe with the left on 1, step back on 2, and keep tapping on 1, 3, 5, 7.
- Come up on your toe, opposite hand to the front, like a handshake.
Lesson 2.
Basic Step Touch. The exact same move as the Mambo Tap, but you tap on the upbeat, 2, 4, 6 and 8.
- Open to the side on 1 like a side step, then collect instead of tapping forward.
- Same handshake, kept more in, palm towards your body.
How the Drill Runs 🔁
- Mambo Tap
- Basic Step Touch
- Both again from the back
Technique Cues 💡
- Mambo Tap: sharp, more powerful.
- Step Touch: more playful, come a bit down when you tap.
💡 Drill it: go in and out of your basic every time.
