Hi I'm Emily Larew, and we are continuing on learning a bunch of different wings in our intermediate tap. This time we're going to add a toe stand with our wing. Whooo, so here we go. You're going to start, let's break it down one foot at a time. So you're going to push off, out, brush, and instead of landing on that right ball, you're going to toe stand and step. So you're now going to add, instead of a three sounded wing, it's going to be four sounds. So we have one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four, there you go. Left foot will be out, brush, toe, step. Now remember as you're brushing you have to push off, because not only do you have to get that brush in, but you've got to go up and go it on your toes, in the mean time okay. So let's try it, so we're going to jump, one, out, brush, toe stand, okay. Try it again, jump, out brush, toe stand, yes. One more time, put all your weight on it because I really want you to understand you're going to jump, out, brush, toe, stand, good. One more time, so jump, there you go. And then continue on doing that until you feel comfortable to go center floor. Because we don't want to have any accidents make sure that your weights not over your toes too far, because then you'll go crashing to the floor. So pull up and be strong when you're doing those toes dance.
