"Hi, I'm Emily Larew, continuing on with our intermediate hip hop combination. We're now on the getting low with it part, all right. So it's on the fourth count of eight, we just went around, and eight. We've got, I'm going to start with your arms first, you're going to use your right arm to pull in a rope. So you're going to go right, your left arm is straight while your right arm's bending, you're going to switch it, lean to the left, lean to the right, lean to the left. So keep doing this motion with me, left, with the right arm straight, left straight, right straight. All right, and whatever arm is bent that's the one you want to lean towards, okay. So we're going to go, here we have, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. You're going to, we'll leave out eight for a second all right, so let's add our legs. So we've got our upper body and our arms. From there what I want you to do, is you are just bouncing your knees in and leaning in, in, in. Just get lower as you go, all right. So you're getting low, you starting up high, and every count is bringing you lower to the floor, okay. So what it looks like is together is this. Prepare to have your thighs burning after this one. So we have on eight you go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. You're going to turn your left knee underneath you, you're going to put your right hand on your thigh, your left hand smacks the floor and you look down on it, eight. That all happens on eight. So you were here on seven, you're going to turn, eight. Awesome! So that will be a great finish as you keep getting lower to the floor. So try it one more time then we'll take it from the top. So we're here on eight, we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Good job. Let's take it from the top. We're going to take it slow. Are you ready? So we're getting ready to hold it and we hold, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One and two, three, three, four, five and six, seven, eight, and one, two, three and four, five, six, and seven, eight. One and two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Then from there, remember what happens, we get low. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Good job, and that was the get low part for our intermediate hip hop combination forth count of eight."
