Back and Forth Dashing - Can't seem to figure it out!

I've been practicing with Pikachu a lot lately, really trying to get the various tactics and tricks down and fluid. I've been watching a lot of videos for inspiration as well, and one thing I've seen quite often is the pikachu player doing, what looks like, a dash back and forth really fast - almost in place. I figured that this was just exactly as it seems, tilting the direction pad back and forth really fast, but I can't seem to do the dashing as tightly as I've seen in the videos.

This Pika-noob was simply curious if I just need to practice it more to pull it off correctly, or if perhaps there was a simple trick about it that I haven't been able to find? I've tried looking around the forums and in the techniques section, but haven't been able to find anything on it.

A good example of what I'm talking about is in the Official Pikachu Guide: Part II by 5ive at about 3:00 minutes. After doing some Jolt's, he lands and does the back-and-forth dashing a few times.

Thanks in advance for any help! Happy brawling!
