[Verse 1]
When you're learning how to move and dance
There's a secret in your stance
Weight can shift from foot to foot
Or stay put where you took your foot
Two main types you need to know
Let me teach you how they go
[Chorus]
Step means weight goes all the way
From one foot to the other today
Touch and tap just kiss the ground
No weight transfer can be found
Step means weight goes all the way
Touch and tap just lightly play
[Verse 2]
If you slide across the floor
Keep that contact, don't ignore
Foot stays down throughout the move
That's a step with sliding groove
When you spring up in the air
Both feet floating, nothing there
[Chorus]
Step means weight goes all the way
From one foot to the other today
Touch and tap just kiss the ground
No weight transfer can be found
Step means weight goes all the way
Touch and tap just lightly play
[Bridge]
In the notation you will see
Support columns show the key
Steps go there for weight that's real
Touch goes in gesture, that's the deal
Gaps in columns mean you fly
Both feet dancing in the sky
[Verse 3]
Full transfer or no transfer
These are choices you can make
Every movement tells a story
Every step is yours to take
Practice shifting, practice touching
Feel the difference in your feet
[Chorus]
Step means weight goes all the way
From one foot to the other today
Touch and tap just kiss the ground
No weight transfer can be found
Step means weight goes all the way
Touch and tap just lightly play
[Outro]
Two types of weight transfer
Now you know them both
Step and touch, slide and spring
Dancing with your oath
