Move of the Week: Spank the Baby
For this week's Move of the Week, we are teaching you Spank the Baby. And I promise you, it's not as harsh as it sounds.
For this week's Move of the Week, we are teaching you Spank the Baby. And I promise you, it's not as harsh as it sounds.
Begin with your feet together and then tap with your right foot to the side. Then bring your left foot in again.
While stepping together, bring your right foot up and hold it there. You can feel your body weight transferring onto the standing leg, which is, in this case, the left one.
Hold your arms like a teapot. While tapping to the side, push your arm in the direction you are travelling in.
When you are coming together pull your arm in as well and the other hand slaps on the bum of the standing leg.
It is exactly the same for travelling to the other side, so keep practising both sides, because in the end you will master tapping from side to side.
