This is a great step for soft shoe or swing beats. The more you cross the better it looks, but at some point the cross has to give way to speed. Arms traditionally swing side to side following the spanking foot.
Tip: If you’re having trouble getting the flap sounds, try to lift the flapping foot up during the second sound of the spank step before it (the step) so it’s all ready to go when it’s time to do the flap.
