How Do You Do A Combination Time Step In Tap Dancing?
The combination time step in tap dancing is considered a “buck” time step rather than a “standard” time step, because it begins with a stomp. A stomp, unlike a stamp, does not carry weight. This time step is done to the following count: “8 and 1 and a 2 and a 3 and 4 and 5 and a 6 a 7 and…” Stomp on your right foot, followed by a back brush (spank) on your right. Observe that your weight is on your left foot. Hop on your left and shuffle on your right. Step down on your right. Flap (brush step to the front) on your left and step down right. Shuffle on your left and hop right. Shuffle on your left and step down left. Flap right and step left. Combine the steps in the correct order: Stomp brush hop shuffle step flap step, shuffle hop shuffle step flap step.
