Hitch
·1 min
Usually in a sugar push or side-pass you settle on your right leg and then step backwards twice on the 1 and 2. In a hitch step you settle on your right leg, but the weight is not on the ball of your foot or the middle of the foot, it is on the heel. The only way not to lose balance is to change your pitch forward, meaning your chest goes slightly forward while your hips go slightly backward. Your left foot should feel like it is floating because there is so little weight on it on the 1. Then on the &2 you quickly change weight onto your left leg before changing the weight back again onto your right leg. This steps fits blues well because blues is swung, but it may feel syncopated to a song that is not swung.
