Ready to coordinate some footwork and palmas?

Here’s an exercise to work on that in the compás of 8.⁣

This one is also good for practicing beginning on the same foot you end on, which can be challenging as you build speed.⁣

If coordinating palmas and movement is new to you, I recommend following these steps:⁣

1️⃣ Learn the footwork pattern.⁣

2️⃣ When you’ve got that down, bring your speed way down, and add palmas on the primary counts only (1, 3, 5, 7).⁣

2️⃣ Next add more palmas, so you’re clapping on every beat.⁣

The steps and counts:

𝟭 right 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦 (stomp)⁣

& left 𝘵𝘢𝘤ó𝘯 (heel)⁣ ⁣

𝟮 right 𝘵𝘢𝘤ó𝘯 ⁣

& left 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦⁣

𝟯 right 𝘵𝘢𝘤ó𝘯 ⁣

& left 𝘵𝘢𝘤ó𝘯⁣

𝟰 right 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦 ⁣

& left 𝘵𝘢ló𝘯 (heel made by lifting leg from behind)⁣ ⁣

𝟱 right 𝘵𝘢𝘤ó𝘯  ⁣

𝟲 left 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦 ⁣

𝟳 right 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦 ⁣

𝟴 left 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘱𝘦 ⁣
