"Hi, I'm Emily Larew, and we are going to learn how to do a scuffle heel. If you've watched part of our tap warm-up, you have learned how to do a scuffle, but let's review that in case you haven't. So going to the front, we're going to keep our knees slightly bent. You have a heel, brush, so make sure you pick up your foot. Heel, brush, heel, brush, heel, brush. These are awesome ankle warmer-uppers. All right. Heel, brush, heel, brush, five, six, seven, eight. Let's try the left. Five, six, heel, brush, here we go. Heel, brush. And as you can tell, as I put my heel down, I'm bending more with it. You let your body go with it, so it's nice and comfortable. Five, six, seven, eight. So now as we do our scuffle, I want you to add a heel on your supporting leg. So we have heel, brush, heel. Heel, brush, heel. Scuffle, heel, scuffle, heel. Da, da, da, one, two, three. You can get a little horsey motion going on here. Try it on your left. Five, six, seven, eight. Heel, brush, heel. Good job. Those were your scuffle heels."
