&S &S 2 Woodpeckers; QQQQ Flying Woodpecker (switching feet)
Standing on either foot, usually in closed position, hop and tap the toe of the free foot behind in one count of music. Hop up on a half count and land and tap on the second half count. Rarely would you do just one woodpecker—you might do four woodpeckers over a measure of music. It is also common to turn as a couple in place as you dance them—turning woodpeckers. Whenever you hop, don't try for altitude. Make it a very light, skipping movement.
