- The running man. Four counts: knee up, slide the other foot back, arms pumping loose. Stay low.
- The heel taps. Kick the right heel out and tap, then the left — weight sitting back, arms swinging across.
- The jump-tap. Small hop, tap the toes down twice, straight back into the shuffle.
- Bam bam bam. Three hard stomps to close it out — lean into every one.
