No-triple sugar tuck

·1 min

This is a sugar tuck but the 3&4 becomes a 3 and 4 step-tap because the & goes away.

For the leader’s footwork, there is no 3&4, it is only 3 and 4. Step 1 is back, step 2 is back and to the right. Step 3 is a tap step such that the leg points to the floor and slightly to the left, but your weight is still on your right leg from step 2. On step 4, you shift weight onto your left leg that was pointing to the floor. Steps 5&6 are an anchor step.

The follower also has the option to avoid the triple step by simply stepping forward on 1 with the right foot into point A, forward on 2 with the left foot while having the right foot plant fully flexed and still positioned on point A. Compression will happen on 3& like usual, and the right foot will rotate clockwise around point A on 4 to perform the outside turn.

Followers also have the advanced option to perform no-triple sugar tucks by kicking with the right leg on 2 and using the leg’s momentums to propel oneself through the turn.
