The toe crawl, often used in tap dance as an exercise, involves a sequence of heel and toe movements on each foot. Based on the provided reference, it seems the exercise emphasizes transitioning between heel and toe taps/touches. Here's a breakdown of one version:
-
Starting Position: Stand comfortably with feet in a relaxed position.
-
Left Foot Sequence: The left foot executes the following sequence: heel, toe, heel, toe, heel, toe. It seems one version ends with "heel, and then you stamp." Another ends with heel, toe, heel, and then you stamp. There might be variations based on the exercise.
-
Heel and Toe Focus: Focus on clearly articulating the movement between the heel and toe with each tap or touch.
-
Rhythm and Timing: Maintain a consistent rhythm and timing throughout the exercise. This builds coordination and control.
-
Progression: Based on the reference, there's an "extra heel" sometimes involved in the exercise. Depending on the instructor, the toe crawl's sequence might be altered.
In summary, the toe crawl appears to be a tap dance exercise involving alternating heel and toe movements, potentially followed by a stamp, used to develop foot articulation and rhythm.
