Flatfooting Dance Basic Course Lesson #2: Three-Sound Walking Step (and intro to Rock Step)

Reinforcing lesson 1 on "2-Sound walking step", adding making the "3-sound walking step" by adding the flatfooters' "double toe" sound. Plus a little about the "rock step" (or "ball step", which helps to frame a rhythm, or create the "alamo" rhythm). Keep the down-up rhythm going throughout all these steps.

This is fun, and I think you are doing a good job at explaining, giving a good insight in how the movement is built up.

@Philobiblion wow, thanks for the compliment. my first time trying to teach. just learned myself only 2.5 yrs ago, so please don't take it as "the final answer" in flatfooting.

[Philobiblion]

This is marvelous. I am a 63 year old man and I am convinced I can learn this from this magical teacher. You are great. I am with you Lady all the way.
