Learning Applejacks is not as fun as the cereal… at first. It definitely is the hardest footwork I’ve learned to date… my knees just don’t like it (nor does my balance issues), but I like it so I’ll make the rest adjust to me.
If anybody wants to learn this dance, this is the best video I’ve found teaching it. I’d like to say I’ve had some of the guys from Saddleridge trying to teach me it, but it was more like taunting because Kalli and I couldn’t figure it out yet. I have been to the point of wanting to lay on the floor to watch the footwork and how things are balanced, but I decided against it since I probably would have caught at least ten diseases from some of classy folk spilling over from Barroom on any given night.
Any who, I learned it in a few hours off this video… the trick is remembering weighting depending on the direction… and then getting everything up to speed.
