Slap-Stomping |

Stomping as loud as possible isn't usually the goal at contra dances,
but occasionally you want to make a lot of noise briefly. How can you
do this without hurting your knees?
Normally to stomp you bring your heel down hard, which means your knee
absorbs a lot of the shock. If instead you let your foot pivot around
your heel and slap the floor with the sole you can make a similar
noise with much less shock through your knees:
