"Hi I'm Emily Larew continuing on with our intermediate Hip Hop combination. We are on our whip it and snake part so we're going to start and the counts are five, six, seven, eight for the second count of eight, so we just did our finger waves and we jumped together on four. You're then going to turn your hand into a whip and you're going to whip it over. Your right arm just stays tucked by your side but you're going to whip it and then whip it back ok? So don't be shy whip and back, nice, so we have four you're going to step out five and I want you to lean your head to the right as you step with your right foot. So three and four, we have five, then you're going to step on your left foot six ok? Try it again, actually you are going to hold six and not move until seven ok? So we did this on four you have five, six and then actually ball change right left and seven alright? Right left seven and your arm comes straight down and we whipped our head to the left then we're going to step up out on eight. So make sure your fingers are flat and they're right to the front, again, this hand is right tucked behind you, the right arm alright?
