no-triple sugar tuck

·2 mins

West Coast SwingSugar pushes

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.

  • Start in an open left position.
  • On 1, step back.
  • On 2, step back and to the right.
  • On 3, tap step so the leg points to the floor and slightly to the left, but your weight is still on your right leg from step 2.
  • On 4, shift weight onto your left leg that was pointing to the floor.
  • Steps 5&6 are an anchor step.
  • End in an open left position.

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.
