4 Footwork Variation： Toe Taps

COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction

FOCUS: This lesson introduces footwork variations in Struttin, focusing on the toe tap variation to maintain independent footwork and a consistent pulse while dancing.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep the toe tap relaxed to avoid hurting your toes.
• Maintain the jogging pulse throughout the toe tap for a consistent appearance.
• Try traveling sideways while toe tapping to challenge yourself.
• Add toe taps with a partner without needing to synchronize timing.
• Stay relaxed during toe taps to prevent tensing up.

REMEMBER:

• Footwork in Struttin is independent; partners do not have to be on the same side.
• The goal is to keep the pulse and connection unchanged so the partner doesn't feel the variation.
• Toe taps should feel smooth and not interrupt the flow of the dance.
• Variations like toe taps can be done while traveling to maintain movement consistency.
