So, we just chugged on "and", and what I want you to do is on five, is your hands, your left hand will come out in a snap and you're going to look at it. Five! Alright. And then from there, you're going to do your shoulders -- left, right, left, snap, snap. Alright? So we have five, six, seven and eight, so left, right, alright. So hand on five, left, right, snap, snap, alright? Your feet work are going to do this -- you have five, six, seven. So heels, balls, heels, then you're going to straighten your knees and drop your heels, eight. So, you've already done that before. So, keep your knees straight, then as you swivel your heels back to the right, I want you to plie sit into it, eight. So we have and we're going to go five, five, drop your heels, six, seven and eight. Good! Try it again. Three and four and five, six, seven and eight. Good. Let's put it right together from the top.
