So we just finished here on 4, you're going to take your right foot and sugar. So when you sugar it's in the balls of your feet and your knee need to go out, 6 7 then you're going to do a quick one and 8; good. Make sure their loud; I want to hear them on the balls of your feet. So use your plie; dig into the floor, 5 6 7 and 8. So as you can tell I am swiveling. So rotate on the balls of your feet as you're doing your sugar. Your hands are going to go from, and 8 you have right left; right left right. So your hands are going to go in a little half circle. So you have wax on, no waxing off; o.k. So wax on the whole time you're sugaring. Alright so let's try it, 3 and 4; 5 6 7 and 8. So nice and sharp; keep it tight. From the top, 5 6 7 and, 1 2 3 4 5 6 and 7; and 8. A 1 and 2, and 3; and 4 5 6 7 Elvis. 1 and 2, and 3; and 4, 5 6 7 and 8. A 1 and 2, and 3; and 4, 5 6 7 and 8.
