"Hi, I'm Emily Larew. Continuing on with our advanced hip-hop combination. We're going to add to our fifteenth count of eight, we're on counts five, six, seven, eight. We're going to do a ball-change walk with a heel spin. So we just finished our whip on three, four. So from there we're going to ball-change left to right. And five. We're going to still lean over, but our hand is going to go from being straight to being bent, like you've got a snap going on as well. OK? Hand is folded over on your left hip, and we just ball-change. So we did three, four, now ball-change left right, and five. We're going to step up six. What happens now is our fingers, let's just do our feet first. We're going lift it up and seven, eight. So all I'm going to do is rotate over on my left heel and my heel is going spin around. Alright? So pick up that heel on the left and that's what's helping me turn around. OK? So when you step up, you're going to pick up your right foot and spin. Good. Keeping a bent plie' position, toes up. Your arms are what's going to be helping you to turn around. So what you're going to do is after we step up on three, you have and, your arms are straight, fingers pointing down. And that's on eight. That's on eight. So ready, so come back here. So we just did our whip, three, four. We're ball-changing and five, up six and seven, eight. And that's how you stop. One more time, ready, whip and three, four and five, six, seven, eight. And get down low. Good job. That was our heel spin with our ball-change walk for advanced hip-hop combination."
