The "undercut" moves are normally accomplished by doing a slight leap, moving the "drag" foot into the space just occupied by the "stepping foot." This puts the stepping foot off the floor, moving forward for a "step" on the next beat. This can be a bit tough on joints, especially the knees so, this can be modified by doing a "knee pop" which raises the heel of the stepping foot, sliding the drag foot under the heel.
Undercuts are also normally done in a chasse to the side rather than moving forward but what the hey! Use whatever move combinations work. That's what makes this sort of dance fun to do.
