Technique: The Side Walk

The Side Walk is a foundational house dance move that comes from the tap dance scene. It involves shifting left to right and kicking out to the side. As with every foundational move, there are lots of variations. Like many foundational house steps, the Side Walk serves as a building block for more advanced footwork and has numerous variations that dancers develop over time.
