In a simple time step, we first stomp the foot as we showed you earlier at stomp, stomp and then we hop and we come down on the right toe and then you flap that's two sounds and then you switch weight and stomp again.

Hop, step, flap and hit. Hop, step, flap and hit hop and then we work it up tempo hit, hop, step, flap and hit hop step flap and hit hop step flap and hit facing the eight counts.
