I’m going to show you it first, and then we’ll break it down. Alright. What did I just do? It’s hop, shuffle, step, f-lap, step, stomp. Let me really quick decipher a stomp and stamp. Stamp, you keep it down. I want you to think of putting a stamp on a piece of paper: it stays there. That’s your stamp. Stomp, it comes back up again. This is stomp, down, up. So stamp, keep it down. Stomp comes back up. So, lets put that into the hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp. Alright, hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, and stomp, comes back up, hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp, hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp. Let’s take that to the side, here we go. Hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp, hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp. Alright, let’s bring that up a little bit faster, put it all together. Hop, shuffle, step, flap, step, stomp.
