"Hi I'm Emily Larew, and we're continuing on with our beginning tap combination. A really great song that you might think about putting together with this for an example is, ladies choice for maybe Hairspray. So it's really cheesie, showy, lots of fun. Alright, so we're going to continue on your second count of eight, counts one through four, we just pulled together. So what I want you to do is take it to the corner, your right shuffle, you have shuffle, ball, change. Make sure you stay off your heels, and it goes to the corner. Your hands are going to do a little roller coaster, so you want to keep your fingers together, and you're going to go one and two, straight down. So ready? Six, seven, eight, a one and two, you have hop, step, hop, step, you're going to cross in front your left foot comes out and we're going to show our heels to the left, up and our legs our straight, our hands comes to the side, you're going to drop your heels and bend sit into it, four, and you come down. Alright? So you were up and you just drop your heels, four. So make sure you really sit into it, so I hear that sound with your feet. Six, seven, eight, a one and two and three and four, good. Try one more time, six, seven, eight, a one and two and three and four. Try it from the top, six, seven, and, flap heel, two, good. And that was the first part of your beginning tap combo."
