The Step
The feet perform alternating cross steps and side steps with swivel action, as follows.
- On 1, put the right foot on the heel across the left foot and put the weight on this heel, the toe being in the air.
- On 2, swivel on the heel, the right toe swinging to the right, while doing a small step by the left foot to the side, almost in place or simply transferring the weight onto the left foot, or stepping slightly back.
Step 1 may also be accompanied with a light swivel of the left toe.
One may continue in one of the ways:
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times.
- or
- On 3, step with the right foot to the right.
- On 4, bring the left foot together or step across the right foot.
- repeat steps 1, 2, 3, 4.
