Hi, I'm Emily Larew, we're going to wrap up our section on intermediate tap with swap wings. So a swap wing is you're just swapping from one foot to the next. So you're going to kind of break down yours sounds. You want to get the out brush part on one foot, your third sound is going to be when you switch to the other foot. So that's how you're swapping from one foot to the next. So you have, use your plie, bend the ball of your foot, you're going to jump. Jump, out, brush, in. Jump, out, brush, in. Jump, out, brush, in. Jump, so I still have three sounds, it just that two is going on one foot, the third sound is when you make that transfer into your other leg. So again, watch that your toes don't go out, because it is so easy, much easier, to turn those toes out to brush it on the full length of your ball of your foot, instead of turning it on that side. So keep those toes parallel everybody while you're doing your swap wings. Let's try it again, five, six, seven, eight, so we have jump and a wing. Good, and then you can start to do that same combo that we did the last clip with jump and a wing, jump and a wing. And try it with your swaps too, and then go center floor. Great work everybody.
