How Do You Do A Quint Step In Tap Dancing?
In the quint step in tap dancing, the dancer will make five sounds (taps). This combination is somewhat like a standing cramproll. A cramproll occurs when the dancer combines steps and heels. For example, step right, step left, drop right heel, drop left heel. In the quint step, instead of dropping both heels, the combination concludes with a stamp. Shuffle on your right foot to the count of “and 1.” A shuffle is a forward and backward brush on the ball of your foot. Step down on your right foot on the count of “and.” Drop your right heel on the count of “a.” Dance on the balls of your feet so that it’s easy to drop your heels when required. Stamp your left foot (put weight on a stamp) on the count of “2.” Put the steps together: shuffle step, heel drop, stamp. Because the combination ends with a stamp that means that your right foot is free and you can repeat the quint tap beginning on your right foot.
