"Hi I'm Emily Larew and we are continuing on with our intermediate tap combination, counts one through four. So we just put our foot down, we clapped on eight. You're gong to take your left foot, and you're going to five tap riff. Brush, heel, heel, heel, step, brush heel, heel, heel, step. So again, seven and eight, keep your knees bent we're traveling again to the left, alright, or actually to the right with your left foot. And a one and two, and a three and four. What your body's going to be doing is, your fingers are going to go and a one and two, and you're going to come down, alright. So your fingers are pointed up on the three tap riff and when you put your heel down they drop forward. So lean back and forward, alright. Make sure there's a nice good space, you don't want to be here, alright. Seven and eight and a one and two, then you're going to repeat it the other way, and a three and four, alright, and you have the other side. So make sure your right arm is stuck behind you, because you want to be able to see it in a profile from the front. Alright, seven and eight, and a one and two, and a three and four, awesome you guys. That was the next part of our intermediate tap combination."
