From the module notes
What This Module Trains π―
Taps, kicks and heels to fill the blank counts, 4 and 8, instead of just pausing.
The Moves π§
Lesson 1.
Tap. After 1, 2, 3, tap on 4 with no weight, then step 5 with that same leg.
- On 8, tap with the left.
Kick. Raise your knee and extend it, to the front, the side or the back.
Heel Tap. Tap your heel on the floor on 4.
- In high heels, use the toe.
- What I like: tap on 8, heel on 4.
Lesson 2.
Side, Back and Front Step. Add the tap, kick or heel to your side step, back step and front step.
- With the basic, that is 12 different steps.
How the Drill Runs π
- Basic with taps, kicks, then heels
- Side, Back and Front Step, each with all three
- Everything again from the back
Technique Cues π‘
- The tap is not a step: no weight on it.
- Kick from the knee, sharp.
- When you tap, point fully on your toe.
π‘ Drill it: play with the directions, never dance the same basic twice.
