MAMBO--Ph.4
CLINIC
PATTY CAKE TAP
Although we will not start dancing Mambo until February 8,
PATTY CAKE TAP practice will start on February 1.
Timing: ss;
In left open position facing reverse,
lift trail knee swivel in to face partner pat trail hands and point trail feet thru toward line no wt, -,
lift trail knee again and swivel back out again to left open and step back, -;
(one weight change total)
The demonstrations include a variety of figures as lead-ins to build up momentum;
but the PATTY CAKE TAP does not start until the SWIVEL, and it ends with the
STEP BACK after the TAP. There is not a shift of weight into the TAP.
The SWIVEL and the TAP are "actions," not steps.
