"Now we're going to talk about syncopated pull backs. You're going to prepare stepping on the heel, the heel, pull the right foot back first, then pull the left foot back, land on the right ball of the foot, land on the left ball of the foot. The pull back itself consists of four sounds: the brush, the brush, the landing and the landing. Stepping on your heels is only a preparation. Now I'm going to show you how to execute a syncopated pull back. Step forward, forward, pull the right foot back faster than the left foot. You can also do the left foot if you prefer. Heel, heel, pull back. Heel, heel, pull back. Heel, heel. When you do syncopated pull backs in succession, you don't start from the heels anymore. The second one you're going to start from the ball of the foot. Kick the foot out, brush it back and land. Now I'll show the side view of syncopated pull backs."
