New Shag Move of the Week!  

New Move ... Fan Step

This is another popular variation on the basic shag step.  Instead of being held directly behind on the double hops, the free leg makes a small semi-circle or fan on the floor.

Leaders, while taking the first hop of the double hops onto the left foot, shoot your right leg out to the side with your right toe touching the floor. All of your weight is still going to land on your left foot, though.  Then during the second hop onto your left foot, make a small circle behind you on the floor with that right toe.  Now you’re ready to leap onto the right foot, shooting your left foot out to prepare for the left foot fan.

Again, your partner should not feel that you?re doing this.  You don?t have to do this at the same time as your partner, but if you want to, just say ?fan step? to him or her.
